What r the chances of having a c-section?

I'm almost 38 getting ready to have my 5th baby sometime in September. What r the chances of my having a c-section because I had all four of my other babies vaginal. I know I not far along yet but I want to avoid as much as possible.

Like the other to replies, if you've had vaginal deliveries in the past then you don't go from vaginal births to c-section unless there's something wrong with mom or baby to suggest this. I have to have c-section because my pelvic wall is to narrow to push out baby. My sister had emergency c-section with my niece because of preeclampsia so therefore she had to have c-section as well when she had my nephew,nothing's like this bring on c-section. Congrats on baby #5 and a healthy delivery

I agree unless some medical issue came up your body sounds very capable of giving birth so I don't think it would be likely.

Why would you have a C-Section if you've delivered vaginally previously? Is there a medical issue warranting that with you or the baby?
