I have to wonder actually how many c-sections she will be allowed to have before 'no' doctor will deliver her. She used to go to my OB/GYN in Fayetteville, Arkansas and they would not do a V-Bac for her there so they left. Michelle now goes to a hospital closer to me that would attempt the V-Bac and I believe she did deliver at least one of her last kids that way--but I know she has had several c-sections. I know how dangerous that can be past about 3 so I just wonder about that (at least everyone I know has been told about 3 c-sections would be their limit as there is too much risk for the uterus rupturing through the scar, or rupturing in delivery if they tried a vaginal birth, or just plain rupturing, etc.). There may be some nurses on here that would be able to answer this question, I'm not an expert at all I'm just restating what I have been told by my doctors over the years and what friends have been told. I have had 3 vaginal deliveries and one c-section but I have a friend that has had 3 c-sections and was told by her dr. not to get pregnant again due to the risk.
