Can I have more children??

[jenmcn1]

I just had my 2nd baby...via csection. It was an unplanned surgery...and resulted in a horizontal cut, and vertical incision in the uterus.
I have read some scary statistics...and I'm wondering if it's even a good idea for me to have more children with the risk of uterine rupture?
I have a tendency to have big babies, even though I eat extremely healthy and I'm within my normal BMI.
I also tend to hold a lot of amniotic fluid (its a condition - cant remember the name of it though).
So just wondering if anyone has any insight?
I know that a vaginal birth is out of the question for me now but my DH and I were hoping for at least 1 more baby...and now I'm scared that its too much of a risk!

I think you can have up to 4 c-sections, but double-check with your ob/gyn!

Thanks! I know that you can have repeat csections with a regular csection, but mine is a vertical incision...Ive read that it can be higher risk with this type of incision. I see my dr on July 20th so I will check then. Thanks for your advice!!

You can definitely have more children. My Dr said to me to wait at least a year before getting pregnant again so I have time to fully heal and lessen the chance of a rupture. I had a classical incision (from above belly button down to pubic bone).
