http://www.raising4boys.com/2006/06/01/c-sections-unsafe/ parenting tips, tricks and commentary Thu, 18 Mar 2010 17:03:57 -0400 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.6 hourly 1 http://www.raising4boys.com/2006/06/01/c-sections-unsafe/comment-page-1/#comment-16571 mom Tue, 02 Oct 2007 20:56:40 +0000 http://www.raising4boys.com/2006/06/01/c-sections-unsafe/#comment-16571 Tara, We were also concerned about what a fourth c-section might entail. Keep in mind that I am not a health professional, and I'm only speaking from personal experience. Here goes... As we were trying to decide whether to have a fourth child, I asked two of my obstetricians (one current, one previous and from different practices and different states) about what to expect. Both agreed that if your previous three c-sections were "uneventful" then having a fourth c-section wouldn't be a problem. I'm sure I had more scar tissue than someone with a pristine uterus. Since I had a tubal ligation during the fourth c-section, I was on the table for a little longer. Because of this, I can't definitively say that the c-section itself took longer, but I would guess that because of the scar tissue that it did. I hope this helps. Good luck!!! I wouldn't trade my youngest for anything! Tara,

I myself am considering one more baby, which would be a fourth cesarean... Did you/your wife have any troulbe with the later pregnancies? My doctors did not say "no" but warned me of increased risks with each additional cesarean.... thanks for the links regarding cesareans.
