My one friend had 3 c-sections and was fine.
One friend had 6 babies -not sure how many were c-section if any-. The doctor told her her uterus was stretched so thin she better not have any more babies but she did.
I think that 3 c-sections is some what common.

I am the product of my mom's 4th c section. And I am normal, I think. Lol

Some women have several... Repeated c-sections do raise risks for each new pregnancy and c-section so this is why most doctors with have some limit as to what they recommend... which can vary by their comfort level.

Lol touché NOhelp4u!
It is actually pretty funny because my mom's c sections scar matches my dad's prostate cancer scar. But, other than her scar, she looks great!

I have had three c-sections. Two were 2 years apart and the third was 8 years later. I think the time frame does play a part if you are planning to have a vaginal birth after a c-section... My doctor did the second C-section because there was a possibility of my uterus bursting (I think thast is the term he used). But if there has been a long enough period between, your insurance may require a vaginal delivery but the doctors can tell the insurance that a C section is necessary. That's what mine did for my third one. Good Luck
