    Squidipa - no the c-section wasn't the cause of Phoebe's death.

    my mum had 4 c-sections & was recommended not to have anymore as her scar tissue was too thin!

    i think it depends on the individual as to how many they can have & how their body recovers!

    i hope you find the answers u are after

    i have had 4 c-sections and the dr still hasnt told me not to have anymore. i do know that it comes down to the scaring tissue how that heals some people it heals good others it dosent i know when i had my last c-section they did both epi and spinal block as they said it can take longer to perform the c-section and also before i had it done the pumped into you all the things that can go wrong (more then what they did other times) which frighted the living crap out of me but i do know of people who have had 2 and 3 sections being told not to have any more so i say as long as the dr dosent say no more and you would like more kids well keep going. i also found each c-section it got easier and easier with the pain and healing. Also the last c-section the used staples instead of stitches as they said as the scaring is thicker it would be safer to use staples

    my mum had 4 c-sections and the doctor told her that she shouldn't have had more than 3 however that was 19 yrs ago. but i've read as long as you get checked out and everything is fine it doesn't matter how many c-sections you have nowadays.
