A member asked:
How many c-sections can woman have?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It depends: After each c/s, the risk of scaring increases with adhesions between the uterus and bladder which is usually dissected to enter the uterus and retrieve the fetus. At some point 3, 4, or 5 c/s's it becomes a very difficult surgical procedure.
