Well there is some research that suggests that women who have had a first c-section do have a higher risk of uterine rupture during a later vaginal delivery. This is increased if your labor is induced the second time.\n\nTalk with your doctor about this. Only she can work with you to help you evaluate the risks and decide on a course of action.

I would recommend getting an exercize ball and a video that emphasizes pelvic exercize.Its less harsh on your back.  I didn't have a Csec, but I did have a baby about the size of yours. People kept asking how many I was having and why I was still pregnant when I was only 7 months along. My exercize ball has been a godsend!

I have had two deliveries one vaginal one C-Section. I asked my husband this same question and he said there is no difference. Now, this answer came from my husband so he may not tell me the truth to spare my feelings so, a man would be best to answer this question.

My water broke 9 days before my baby was born.  I was in the hospital in labor for 37 hrs., after reaching 1 cm.  But that first 1 cm. took almost 8 days.  \n\nI pushed for about 7 hours continuously!  I was told that it was a record: 10:20 PM until 5:17 AM.  My baby girl was stuck big time!  And, they could not do a c-section on me because I'm severely allergic to latex.  The c-sect Dr. tried his best to deliver my baby by using suction & forcepts.  Nothing worked!  Eventually, he had to let my Dr. take over while he got the c-sect room ready latex-free.  I told him that I would push my baby out myself!  So, I did, just 3 min. before he showed up to get me.  I was ripped clear up into my rectum!  She was big!  That hurt!  \n\nMy poor Dr. had just gotten off the plane from his vacation in Hawaii when I had already been in labor several hours.  Next time, by delivery was planned!  No vacation for him when I'm having a baby!  LOL  \n\nMy second childbirth only took 1 1/2 hours total.  Only took a few pushes.  Go figure!

seems like ignorant people on here don't know much about this.  I've had 3 c-sections.  Since all the muscles were cut, you know there is no way to work it off for the first year.  Lots of abdominal exercises.  It's been 3 years so there is no risk of tearing.  The only drawback is the spot where the incision is will always be raised because of scar tissue underneath.  That's why they make the cut so low.  During my third the doctor removed the scar tissue from the first 2.  Plastic surgery will take care of that when you work the belly off.  I'm back to my shape but it does take work.  We're not as lucky as the ones that can have a baby and get back into exercising.  Hell, for the first week walking was torture.  Don't listen to the ignorant people in here.  Somebody answered your question by saying you should have done it right away.  Let's see them get an 8 inch cut across muscles and tendons and start doing situps the same day.

I have 7 kids. I cant imagine my life without any of them. If you have the capacity to support and love them all...then have a dozen. If you are popping out kids to get more social services(which I have seen people do)then no..you shouldnt have any more.

I'd put my energy into raising the 3 children I already have instead of risking my health with another pregnancy, but the decision is up to you and the potential fetus's father.\n\nWhen you have this issue sorted, get sterilized.

depends on your reason why the c-section was performed and if your doctor feels it is safe for you to have a v-bac as its called "vaginal birth after c-section", i had one post c-section and my kids were 6 years apart so first ask your gynocologist what they feel is best then u decide what u want to do for your birth of your baby.   either way they both are beautiful and memorable experience's\n\nwish u the best

Personal testimony.  \n\nEmotionally?  Regret, Shame, Guilt, Relationship strain, relief.  Still to this day, if I think back, I still ask for forgiveness, even though in my heart, I knew I'm forgiven.  But, its still there.  Now and then.  I wished I would have had 5 or 6 kids.  So, I guess, this is what I have to live with too.  I never did have the ones I should have had.  I would have liked too, ....now.   \n\nPhyically?  Period-like cramping, bleeding (not much), tired.  Its the same procedure (almost of course) as having a D & C.  Which is a dissection and cleaning (cauterizing) of the cervix.

4 times is a little steep.  Any chances you were pregnant?  Did you have extremely bad cramps?\n\nNeed more info.

Well,ideally speaking,you should wait for 1 full year after your C-section before getting pregnant.This allows the uterine scar to heal thoroughly,thus reducing the chances of uterine rupture in your next  labour,and also to reduce the risk of the placenta attaching to the site of incision ,causing different problems.\nBUT,when all is said and done,you are only 5 months away from the 'ideal' and l have known patients who delivered safely in similar circustances to yours,so don't worry.The 'ideal' is a guide and not an absolute.

My sister has 4 and they were placed when she was 41 after two heart attacks.All 4 were placed at the same time.

Unfortunately, I don't have the answer. I can share my experience though. I have had two children and would not dilate for either of them. I had 2 C-sections simply because I would not dilate. I had labor inductions and prostaglandin injections and still would not dilate. I was told there was not an answer, but that was almost 20 years ago. Maybe they know now.

I was in pain for months following my c-section. It had nothing to do with the c-section itself. My hormones made it so that I was unable to produce any lubrication. This made me and my husband uncomfortable. He thought that he didn't make me satisfied anymore. We discussed this with my doctor, and she said that until your hormones come into order again, you may need to use a personal lubricant. We used KY for several months, and I got pregnant again 6 months after the first was born. After she was born. Yep pain again. Waited another 8 months, and now I'm back in action pain free. Some don't experience this, and some not as long. Maybe your doctor could be more help than mine. I know it hurts, and sometimes emotionally as well. If it doesn't subside, see your doctor (OBGYN). They should be able to help you. Congratulations!!
