[quote=Anonymous]This question is very important in the faithful Catholic community, because the only remedy for being advised not to have more children is NFP until menopause.  So avoiding csections, especially primary sections, is a major focus of young married women, because doctors are so unsupportive of VBAC and multiple sections.

Women's bodies were made to bear children, but they were not necessarily made to be cut open many times.  That being said, OBs tend to be very simplistic about their comments after a couple of sections:  "don't have any more kids, you could die.". Because most women don't have many children, and don't have moral issues with sterilization and artificial contraception, this line is just tossed out there a lot.

But for women who actually would like many children and who cannot consent to sterilization/artificial contraception, they need better, more specific answers, and as OP said, the info is just not out there.  Just a lot of fear, dismissiveness, paranoia, lack of caring, and derision.

So in my huge extended family, there have been countless warnings of "don't have any more, you could die.". None of those relatives had any ill effects from their multiple sections.

So to any woman who is told "you can't have any more, you'll die," please don't just accept it as gospel truth.  Now, you may face some specific risks, but you deserve more complete information.  Please make sure to be your own best advocate and get all the info about your own, unique body!  Women deserve that kind of personalized care, instead of fear-mongering.[/quote]
