"Doorway to heaven": Repeated c/sections can cause severe adhesions and make for difficult surgery. However, # 5 is a necessary surgery in the face of a more serious elevated blood pressure pregnancy problem which can cause seizures and death. So, the c/s can be a"doorway to a happy heaven"(a live child)), and avoids the heaven of biblical porportions.

If the high blood pressure is preclampsia, the c-section is the tx.
