anyone battling...

I was forced into a cesarean with my first, which resulted in my second also being a C. Now I'm on my third, and so worried. The actual surgery doesn't scare me, it's the idea that I may be told I need to stop having kids. But docs won't do vbacs due to liability.  Thoughts anyone?  I'm so sad over this.

U can have more babies its just after so many it becomes dangerous for u and the baby. I also have had to csections an will be having my third in march. Its bitter sweet for me cuz im super excited but sad cuz im done after this baby cuz i dnt want to takr the chance of putting another baby or myself at risk but thats jus me some women do more then 3 its just ur preference an ur doctors opinion. My dr never said i cant have anymore after this i jus dnt wanna take any risks so sadly this is my last :(

My Dr told me after 2 c sections.  It's an automatic c section.  There are risks but I don't see why your dr would say you can't have any more babies.

I think it must be different where I am because they really push vbacs here unlesssl there are complications. What were the reasons for your csections?
Also, I know someone who's had 6 csections and my dr told me the world record is something like 13 but the risks do increase with each one. Have you had complications with your previous csections? Did you have the old verticle incision or the horizontal? My first csection went great so I'm hoping my second goes just as well. Ive been told no more after this one but that has nothing to do with the csections but rather the pregnancy complications I've had.
