How many number of cesarean sections are allowed?

When you have a c-section delivery also known as cesarean section, you are then alerted that you will be limited only to three pregnancies or you will have pregnancy risks. This is a common misconception. Let me explain further.

Having a cesarean section delivery can pose several issues to a woman and these include some the ff:

1. Scar tissue and distortion of the normal anatomy that chances of injury to other structures, especially the bladder, ureters and bowel, are increased substantially.

2. Increased risk of the placenta abnormally adhering to the old scar or placenta accreta,

3. Severe uncontrollable hemorrhage sometimes requiring an emergency hysterectomy.

Each individual woman has different circumstances and each condition varies from one another. For this reason, it will only be the medical specialist who will be credible enough to dictate your pregnancy limitations after a cesarean section delivery.
