6th section!

[Gemx4]

Hello!

We've just recently found out we're expecting baby number six! As excited as I am I can't help but worry as it will be my sixth section. Just hoping to hear from other parents who have experienced 6 or more sections and any advice/stories/reassurances etc you might have!

Thank you

I am in the same situation as you! Just found out im 7 weeks pregnant but this will be 6th c section and i am really worried about having that many c sections.

It's so worrying isn't it?! And every cramp/tinge etc I feel I'm concerned.
What ages are your other children, if you don't mind me asking.

Sorry I’m not (I’ve had 4, planning a 5th) but I was wondering if you were in the uk as it’s difficult to find people in the uk who’ve had more that 3/4 sections. I think I’d your doctor didn’t think it was a good idea then he would of made that clear after your last baby

Hello!

Yes I'm from the U.K

Last time all my Consultant said was "If you're thinking of number six you're starting to look a bit thin there" but he didn't say so don't have anymore etc....
My Doctor has said they will be keeping a close eye on me though..

We didn't think we could get pregnant again tbh although I did want more! I'd love loads of kiddies but this will definitely be my last x

Hi, I’m in Scotland and considering my 5th baby. I’ve got 4 girls currently 17, 13, 7 & 5, 2 failed labour emcs and 2 elective for breech. I tried for a VBAC with my last, 19 hours of labour and failed to progress. I’m scared ****less about the risks of having another baby. Any advice?

Edit: my surgeon said I would be ok after my last one “as long as I understand the risks” but that my uterus was paper thin.... so I’m a little confused!
