[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We can only get pregnant via IVF. The combo of IVF pregnancy and multiple C section scars dramatically increases the chance of an ectopic c section pregnancy, which would mean terminating a wanted pregnancy or risking a uterine rupture and leaving my kids orphaned. When you go to deliver a c section scar pregnancy they have you bring your advanced directives because the chance of death is so high. High risk of hysterectomy. C sections also cause infertility and lower implantation rate of embryos, which matters a lot to a couple who can't try to make a new embryo every month the old fashioned way.[/quote]

Huh? I had an IVF pregnancy and delivered via C-section. No one talked about advanced directives and chance of death for C-section #2. This seems very dramatic.[/quote]

If the embryo implants in the scar from the previous c section the placenta will invade the wall of the uterus. The uterus can rupture and when it comes time to deliver the placenta doesn't want to detach and it can cause catastrophic hemorrhage that can only be managed with a hysterectomy. The more Cs you have the greater your risk, esp with IVF pregnancies because they are more likely to be ectopic in general because the embryo didn't gently roll down your fallopian tube. They don't tell you this once you've had the C because there isn't anything that can be done to prevent it, other than not getting pregnant again. [/quote]
