I had my third C-section May 4th 2007. I
was told that my uterus was thin, so thin
they could see my daughters hair thought
it, and was asked what I would be using
for birth control? I was told at first by
the OB that she stitched my uterus back
together in a weaved fashion in case I
became pregnant again. She said this after
I asked if I could have more children. I
later asked, if she was saying that I
should not have more children? She said
she would not recommend it! This hurt my
husband and I greatly! So at my 6 week
postpartum visit, I asked one last time
before my husband considers a Vasectomy,
if I can't have another baby? She replied
with the fact that in her many years of
being an OB, I was the first person she
told that they should not have another
baby. She said I was risking another
babies life as well as my own, and that I
could possibly die, leaving my three
children without a mother. I asked if
ultrasound later, after I healed from this
C-section, would tell more about whether I
could carry another child? She said no. I
asked, if I wait a few years, would that
better my chances? She said no.
So what I want to know is, if there is a
chance that I could try to carry one last
time? Or has anyone ever carried another
baby after being told the same. I would
then get my tubes tied after having the
baby. I have nightmares about not being
able to have a baby. I cry about it all
the time, and it has effected my sex life,
and my happiness. It hurts my husband as
well, he is always talking about, how some
day we could have another child. We just
feel helpless!

Thank you for your opinion, this was a
very helpful link, it gives me some hope.
I think I will look for a second opinion,
I just did not know if I should go to a
specialest or just another OB/GYN. But I'm
going to look into it.
