Question about bleeding after 3rd c-section??

I just had my 3rd c-section last week. They did warn me that im at a higher risk of bleeding more after the surgery due to it being my 3rd c-section. Well, thats exactly what happen. I was in recovery for about 8 hours so they could watch the bleeding which was only heavy that day. The next day it was very light. My blood count dropped over the next 3 days and they were talking about giving me a transfusion but on the 4th day it started going up. I didnt get to talk to my dr about it yet but id like to know if anyone had this problem and then had another c-section in the future? I would really love one more baby but dont know if that would be safe after what happen this time. Thanks for reading!

my ob recommends no more than 3 c-sections but he said the amount of scar tissue really determines the danger of more c-sections

last week i told my ob that if he thinks it would be dangerous to have a 4th c-section that id like to get my tubes tied. He said he will see how the surgery goes and if there was to much scar tissue inside and he feels like a 4th section wasnt an option that he would tie my tubes. Everything went great with the surgery, it was actually done alot quicker then my others. So i didnt get my tubes done. The only problem was the bleeding after.

I've never heard of that? I'll have to ask my OB when I see her next month. I'm going to have my 3rd c-section in November.

A friend of mine has had 5 c-sections. Don't know of the danger, but she had more complications with every c-section after her 3rd.

Hes said hes done 4-5 c/s on women but the more you have the higher the risk of something happening. I would LOVE one more baby but i know i was pretty scared this time with the bleeding
