I was ttc between Oct 2009 - and December 2010 ttc number 2, Amy was born in August, I also have a son aged 8 from a prev relationship. I am not the most regular of people and with each of my children ttc was a matter of waiting and trying for many months.
When I had Amy, I had a second emergency c-section after induction, the c-section ran into complications due to the scar tissue in there from previous ops, while cutting through the scar tissue they nicked my bladder which then had to be stitched up, I was on a catheter for 10 days, all was well, I made a good recovery.
The consultant at the time stated I should give serious consideration before having more children due to the fact I had severe scar tissue and they did cut lots away, but she said the longer I leave it the scar tissue will get worse again and I am already fully aware of what type of complications they can run into. she did say If I was to have any more I would recieve the best care and monitoring she can give. But I know that if it was her choice she would and did say no more, but it wasn't that i couldn't have any more, just consider the risks.
I have been on the pill ever since having Amy, the other month I started getting really low moods and headaches the moods were really bad I had never felt so down before. On my 7 day break in March I decided to give it a month off the pill and see if it made a difference and I was right I felt great, within a couple of weeks and still do. was all set to go back to GP and get a coil. I had no period arrive this month and thought it was just me back into my irregular long cycles and not ovulating... then I started to feel sickly at night and more tired, even had a small bout of heartburn. something just make me think.
I did a test and I am PG with number 3, shocked to say the least, as I have got caught straight away, so so shocked, but we have got our heads around it and we are happy
I am about 6 weeks, I have sorted out my referral to midwife as I do want to make sure everything is ok and speak to the consultant asap, firstly because its only a short time since stopping the pill.
Just wondered has anyone else had scar tissue and had more than 2 c-sections in the past and how was your care and how did the c-section go, I do know that I will be having a planned c-section this time so there is no distressed baby and the op will be in a more calmer controlled environment. I have also come across other forums where mothers have been in similar situations. I am thinking all sorts of horror stories and I feel scared slightly, I just want to enjoy this pregnancy, as it will be the last.

my consultant also said there would be a team on standby should anything occur. I am a bit more relaxed about it now and know I will be in safe hands, it is all such a shock being PG still, but I have wrote direct to my consultant informing her I am pg again and awaiting first midwife apt, just to make her aware in the hopes it speeds up an apt with her etc...
