[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Ethel Kennedy had the last five of her eleven children by csection, back in the day of vertical incisions.

Several mothers of large families in my area have their last three, four, five children by csection because their OBs insist they are too old to give birth vaginally.

My mother's friend [b]had her first csection for her 11th child last spring.[/b] The OB perforated her uterus, her bowel, and her bladder and sewed her back up.  After several days of agony and strange symptoms too graphic to say here, someone finally listened to her and investigated, but by then she was suffering from sepsis and was extremely ill.  She had to have a hysterectomy and reconstructive surgery, and she will never be completely well.

Her OB brushed off her complaints as someone who "didn't know what csection recovery was like" and whose body was "just worn out by having too many kids."  [b]She was only in her mid-40s [/b]and was the picture of health.

Bottom line:  it depends on the woman, the skill of the surgeon, and the manner of surgery.  But most OBs are petrified of multiple csections. [/quote]

ONLY mid-forties! Yikes. It's very risky to have babies in your mid-forties. To say nothing of having ELEVEN children!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
