Birth of fourth or fifth child..

[nel1574]

I have 7 weeks to go and having my 5th baby, my doctor has explained all the risk factors which of course make you worry. However he also said that ANY of the risks could also happen with 1st, 2nd etc, babies. I am just taking it one day at a time and trying very hard not to be overly anxious xx

I had no trouble at all with my 4th baby - quick delivery, no hemorrhage, no issues. My 5th was born only 13 months later, and he was a brow-presentation posterior baby - easy labour for me, difficult delivery. But again, no bleeding, and no further trouble. Number 6 was another straightforward easy delivery.
Babies 3, 5, and 6 were home births, and the only requirement my midwife had was that my hemoglobin levels were well within the normal range, to decrease my chances of PPH. (#4 was a hospital birth because I had GBS)

I had a secondary PPH after my 4th baby, two hours after a very quick and easy labour and birth. I did have a retained placenta and smaller PPH after my 2nd though so it wasn't my first complication.
