[quote=Anonymous]I had 3 c-sections.  The first one was advised by the doctor for various reasons, but considered "elective."  I have mixed feelings.  My OBs never thought 3 c-sections was a problem, and after the 3rd they told me things looked ok that I could have a 4th if I wanted to (we are done!).  However, some people would be advised not to have a 4th depending on how the uterus is looking.

I recovered the easiest from my first c-section, although at times I did regret having it, as it left me few choices about the next two.  I considered vbac for my second, but because of circumstances unique to me, I was advised against it.  After my second, I had a lot of core strength issues and physical pain.  We discovered in my 3rd surgery, I had a lot of adhesions from scar tissue inside from the previous surgeries.  During the 3rd surgery they were actually able to fix some adhesions, and I have felt better since the 3rd!

I think at the end of the day birth is risky no matter what route you choose. I had 3 scheduled c-sections, and the recovery and experience during was different for each.  You can be left with long term issues from both types of birth, and there is just no way of really predicting.  I have heard horrible stories, like you, of vaginal births, but then I know people where the baby basically slid out and they had much easier recoveries and less lasting issues than in a c-section.
