My obstetrician recently told me there can be more complications with the birth of your child after you have had multiple (4 or more) births already. Something about the uterus being much more stretchy? Leads to the baby being in a bad position for birth, cord prolapse and possible caesarean due to these and other factors.

I have had four very normal and, thankfully, uneventful pregnancies and births and am now feeling a little concerned that this one may not progress the same way. I had heard that bleeding is often worse after subsequent pregnancies, but none of the other issues had ever come up.

Anyone else heard of these problems? Or if you have had experiences with four or more babies, what was your fifth or more birth like?

Thanks ladies
