A member asked:

How many csections can a woman have?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Depends: Most obs say anything more than 3 isn't safe, but i've heard of cases where women have had 8 or more; problem is, each one increases your risks for complications, both from the surgery & with subsequent pregnancies.
