A member asked:

I'm 21 weeks pregnant with a baby who won't survive due to health issues i've had 2 c sections before at how many weeks you think i would need a csec?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Not necessarily: If delivery is to be soon (less than 28 weeks) and everything looks ok on ultrasound, some ob's would allow you to labor, as there is much less risk of uterine rupture before that time.
