I’m going on my 4th c section and this is sooooo reassuring! People have been freaking me out that I’m crazy for having another. I love my babies and can’t imagine my life without them
Same here 4th c section baby coming in july so blessed for my babies =)
All these mommas with multiple sections!! Suuuuch amazing women!! Im about to have my second… and.. when she talked about prepping the other kids on how to climb into the crib or out of the crib or car seat on their own I was like 🤦🏻♀️🥴 I have a week left to train lol
Best of luck mama, you got this! I think you'll find #1 will establish their independence pretty quickly on their own 😉
18 weeks pregnant with my sixth as well. I had all c sections as well. I’m putting it all in Gods hands ❤❤❤❤Your story is amazing and I had to watch cuz my nerves are already kicking it lol 😂 but I have faith in God
I’m going on my 4th thank god found this video this gives me peace
Thanks for watching! So glad it was helpful.
Pls tell me the agr gap
Your 4 c section done or not
Preparing for my 4th too
I need to see more of her she’s amazing!
My husband and I had a huge surprise an unexpected pregnancy just found out Monday 10/17/22 we are both in agreement to have the baby it will be my 5th c-section😬 I am terrified and having tons of mixed emotions because my 4th was done 02/20/20 and that c-section had complications. I keep waking up in the middle of the night with the scariest thoughts but I just pray that fear away🙏🏼 now I’m here watching other womens stories for some hope and peace of mind☺️
Almost what am experiencing now
Thinking of you ❤️. It's amazing how different every birth can be! All of mine were completely unique. I hope you continue to find comfort, and some rest before baby #5 gets here!!
How did it go?
@@tonimt1712 I unfortunately had a miscarriage at 11 weeks💔😭
"You have to go through those first three months!" ❤️ thankyouuu
Thank you for this!! I've had 5 c sections
This is so reassuring ! Thank you so much !
Glad it was helpful!
this lady is a damn warrior!!!!
I love her!!!! This will be my 3rd c section and the toddler a story i relate so much with! we’re still in the planning stages but this made me feel so much better!! Thank you ao much for sharing!
By far the most helpful video I’ve seen on c section recovery and dealing with toddlers … thank you!
You are very welcome 💕
Love this, Julie! You are a rock star! I had similar situations and yes, you have to FIND A WAY TO HEAL. xo
Julie really does give such great advice! Thank you for watching!
I’m going on number 4 and you are inspiration. Thank you!
Did you have baby already?
Love this. Truth. Survival mode ❤
Newly pregnant with number 4. The first 3 were delivered via C-section, so this one is planned for delivery that way as well. Thanks for sharing your story. I particularly appreciated your words at the end about it being okay for you to be in survival mode. It's always been hard to accept after delivery, but it's true, and the sooner I accept it, the better off I am physically and emotionally.
Best of luck with number 4 and thank you for sharing. Give yourself as much time and grace as you and the family adjust to having another little human around ❤️
I am having my 4th C-section in July and I am so excited and Blessed for my children! Thank you or this video! So true about going into survival mode when you have more babies at home, you taught me Alot in this video thank you for this!😃
You are so welcome!
Your beginning story was exactly how I ended up having my first c section with #3 our first boy.
This is amazing. I’m sooo happy I found this story. I’m going on number 6 and I’m losing my mind but this story was so helpful.
How did things go??
How did it go
Ma'am?!?!! You are a rockstar to the nth degree!!!!!!! I'm post 2nd c-section and debating calling quits on future children. You also look phenomenal!
Thank you ❤️
Is second c section different from the first one in terms of pain and recovery? I have had my first c section delivered a baby girl , i want second child but scared of another c-section , is repetitive c section have any complications?
@@truptiuikey6094 for me pain was about the same for both c-sections. The only difference is that I was a bit more mentally prepared for everything the 2nd time around. There are many complications from having multiple c sections, the vbac link and evidence based birth websites both have reliable statistics on both vbac and repeat c-section birth.
@@paulinacardiel8709 thanks for the reply mam
That was my first c-section story too! Hardly dilated amd fetal distress. 2nd I could have done a trial of labor but something told me no and when they cut me open, my uterus was paper thin and they told me I for sure woukd have ruptured. 3rd baby, uterus was strong as an ox but cord was around baby's neck and they would have died if I pushed. 4th baby was 19 months after 3rd and medicine didn't help in recovery, but im stronger for it. I'm open for one more in a few years, thanks for sharing!
Absolutely incredible! You are one very strong mama, and that gut instinct to do what feels right for you is so important ❤️
Thank you for this video, I currently have a 3 yr old and pregnant and it’s going to be my 3rd caesarean. I’m in South Africa and I’m praying my delivery goes well.
Now hubby and I wanna try for one more after this baby (4th) but I’ll definitely talk to my Dr and hear her opinion
Hi. How did it go!
I’m going on my 5th c section!! & this helped calm me down sooo much! Thanks for sharing!! I was super scared about what’s gonna happen in a few months..
How did the fourth one go?.
@@carenckawadza5738 overall it was alright I had slight complications my son & I. However we are 100% healthy now! Thank God!
Congratulations Shanny! Send us a DM on our instagram account @mabelslabels with his name and we will send you some labels ☺️
@@MabelsLabels_Mabelhood will do thank you
@@MabelsLabels_Mabelhood I messaged you 😊
I have had 7 csections and 3 vbac including one that was a breech delivery. My 5 th was 10 months after the previous.
You are absolutely incredible! So encouraging for mamas facing these tough decisions around multiple c-sections and vbacs. Thank you for sharing!
To clarify first I had 4 normal births. Then 1 st csect. Then 3 vbac (3rd one was breech delivery. (I had an awesome dr) then 6 more csects.
Omg... Are you alright
Hope you not lying
My doctor said in Saudi Arabia women have 9 csections
I’m watching because I had my first c section a few months back and lost my baby 🥺 I’m just scared to try again because I know I have to have another cesarean . But seeing your story let’s me know it’s possible.
I'm so sorry 😞 sending you all the love.
More power to you
I recommend reading I’ll hold you in heaven. It’s a lovely book
I'm having my sixth c section in December. Kinda nervous 💗
Good luck mama!
Its well.
@christinacastro6166 hope all is well praying for safe recovery Mama 💕
I m mentally and physically scarred after one c section, how are you guys doing this
You are a super mom
Thank you ❤️
Going to have my 5th c-section next month. Mine was caused similar to yours, I was induced (because of pre-eclampsia) but my son's heart rate dipped after contractions and went so low they said let's get him out. My next baby was 14 months after and breech so no VBAC. 3rd Child was 12 months later. Then 6 years later we had our 4th and my OB practice and I decided a repeat was still best option. Now baby 5 is 17 months after baby 4. However my OB practice is pushing me to get a tubal/be "done".
Thank you for sharing ❤️. How did everything go with number 5?
1st was c section. 2nd was a vbac 3 years later (and my uterus ruptured) and my baby girl died. 3rd was a scheduled c section and went well. This October I’m having my 4th c section.
After a uterus raptured how many years did you wait to have another pregnancy
Thank you for sharing and I'm so sorry for the loss of your baby girl. We'll be thinking of you this October as you welcome #4 into the world. Best of luck ❤️
Having my 4th c section 10yrs after my youngest
Congratulations on #4! You got this mama ❤️
How much gap is recommended for pregnancy after 2 c sections?
I know this is an older video but I was just wondering if you were induced for your first labour? Or augmentated with pitocin?
No induction or pitocin, they did break her water and she laboured for 12 hours only 1 cm dilated, then babe went into fetal distress, which resulted in the emergency C-Section
About to have my third cesarean. Not ideal, my first was a homebirth turned cesarean. We want a big family and Lord willing I can have more babies safely!
Hey mama! How is #3 doing?
@@MabelsLabels_Mabelhood Amazing! Seriously blessed with the most happy baby! Thank you :) also has been the easiest recovery.
@@madison7850 Such wonderful news congratulations!
I had 2 previous c sections and I was told by the surgeon after cutting me over the curtain that I have dense adhesions on my bladder and I shouldn’t have anymore that was 7 years ago and now I’m pregnant 🤰 and I’m super scared that they would cut into my bladder.
The good news is so much has improved in the past 7 years with c section procedures. Good luck mama you got this!
I just had my 9th c-section, 2024. @ 38years old.
This is an interesting video however it is possible to have a VBAC after more than 1 C-section. I just recently had a VBA2C and it was a beautiful experience. My MFM specialist explained the risks of placenta accreta to me and it scared me to death that's why I chose not to have a 3rd C-section. Did your OB ever explain the risks of accreta/increta/perceta? Women's who've had several C-sections are at a higher risk of ending up with it
Been thinking of having my 4th but after reading the comments and stuff…. I think I might change my mind.
Everyone's experiences are so different, do whatever your heart and head feel is best for your family. For some that is 1 and for others that is 6 and then a whole bunch of us are somewhere in the middle.
I am going to my six c sections and now in my 2nd trimester ( I don’t have risk factors except for age over 35 and the 6 C-sections and there in no enough time between the last 4 pregnancies
So what is your recommendation to complete my 6 C-sections with healthy baby
Thanks in advance

Congratulation on #6 and welcome to the club!! Best advice we can give is to talk to the professionals, doctors, midwives, doula, pelvic health physios, who ever you have access to as part of your birth team. They'll take great care of you!
Please I have had my 4th c section in 2020,I want to know how many years gap should I give before having another one?
Unfortunately we can not give out any medical advice as we are not professionals. Please talk to your doctor ❤
I have my first c section next month and my hospital changed its protocol for pain medicine. So they ONLY give ibuprofen, Tylenol, ect. I’ve had way less surgery with adequate amounts of opioids before. I’m pretty anxious about this. Has anyone else undergone a c section without pain medicine? Any tips? I have a VERY low pain tolerance
Chelsea here from Mabels, I only took extra strength Tylenol after my c-section due to very terrible reactions I have to pain meds, and I didn't have any unmanageable pain with my recovery. I was definitely sore, but was able to begin walking as soon as the spinal wore off, and gentle slow movement helped my recovery immensely. I hope everything goes well for you and good luck mama!
Good morning. I am a mother of three and i am presently scared. Why? This is the reason: l gave birth to my three kids through cs because i was said to have male pelvic. now i am pregnant again, will i be able to have a normal delivery without cs if i work on my pelvic? or can i still do a successful cs delivery again?
We are not a doctor or medical professional and can not give any healthcare advice, I'm sorry. If you have access to a doctor, pelvic health physiotherapist or Mid-wife, they can hopefully provide professional advice and comfort. Best of luck with baby number 4!
Hii mam after C section do you have any backpain due to anestesia..some people are saying that after C section we will have back pain ..how you are mantaining daily health..plz reply me is that true ?
I had a spinal with each of my c-sections and didn’t have any back pain, except for after my third when I had a bit of sciatica. I found that the sooner I got up after the c-section, the better my recovery was.
-Julie
Pls, I have had 3 previous c sections, my first was 6 yrs ago, second was 2yrs ago and lost the baby, 3rd was last year Nov and lost the baby too. Now I found out I'm pregnant 4 days ago and it's just 7months away from my 3rd C's. Is the pregnancy advisable or risky?. Thanks
Pray 🙏, and ask doctor also
I'm so incredibly sorry to hear of all your loss. How did everything go with your 3rd? I'm sorry we can't give any medical advice, but I hope you found a medical professional to help you with this.
I’m interested to know if they used the same scar I have had 3 c-sections the first emergency the second due to colestasis had my daughter at 37 weeks . I wanted to try natural with my 3rd but due to pressure I caved and went for c-section and they went in and made a different scar .
I do keloid scarring, so after the first c-section and bad scarring, they removed the tissue during the second c-section and consulting with a plastic surgeon about how to manage my keloid scarring. It worked. Only at the sixth c-section did they have to cut a little bit longer because he was a little bigger than the others. Zero issues with my scar!
-Julie
My first 2 were vaginal. I then had 3 csections. Pregnant with number 6 and scared to make a decision. A 4th csec sounds scary but a Vbac sounds risky after 3 csec.
Such a hard decision
It's such a hard decision! If you do chose another c-section lean on all the support you can get while you recover. Good luck mama!
I am right there with you. Did you decide?? I had a c-section, vaginal, C-section, vaginal, C-section and now am pregnant with #6 and also concerned with which route to take though I told my doctor I want to have a trial of labor but still concerned about the experience......
That's right, just to pray 🙏 🙌 and God is aware
@@ASmith-jn7kf I tried for a VBAC. Long story short my uterus started to rupture and had emergency csection. Rupture was very small, along the old csection scar. Could've been so much worse. Thankful baby is here safe
Thank you for sharing. Happy you guys are safe.
How old was your youngest each time you got pregnant. My husband and I have always wanted six kids. I had an emergency c-section with my first baby. I labored for about 24 hours and then I pushed for two and a half hours. She was sunny side up. After my OB cut me open and took her out he saw that my sacrum is curved in to much. I get pregnant again when my daughter was 8 months old. I would prefer my kids to be in close age to each other. My second is only three months and two weeks old. If I did not have a c-section I would be trying again for a third. I don’t think it would be wise to do so because of the c-section.
You have to wait 2 years the most.
My first child was 15 months old when his sister arrived. Baby number three was only 20 months after that. I’d chat with your doctor, but I liked having mine close in age. Just be careful - recovery is a lot harder when you come home to a couple of needy toddlers!
-Julie
Ok I'm due to have my 5th csection next month my question is did Dr ever schedule earlier or at 39 week mark? Or did baby come early?
How long ago did you have your fourth?
@@familybrooks1441 Dec 2019
Julie: For my last few c-sections, we scheduled it 10 days before due date in hopes of avoiding labour (to lower risk of uterus rupturing).
We hope everything goes well!
@@MabelsLabels_Mabelhood yes I'm scheduled June 29th :) original due date July 6th but I feel she'll come early :)

What 5th c-section is it safe pls tell me
@@taslimsiddiqui415
For me.. it was! I got my 5th c-section in October 2020.. and know. I think I am pregnant again.. hope in God is only a false alarm…
Is it reduced the risk if you take a longer gap in between your 5th and 6th C-section
Unfortunately we can't provide any medical advice, but please ask your doctor what would be best for you.
It is google it
is in india sixth c -section possible ?
is there also the facilities?😭🙏 plesae replay
I'm so sorry we are not in India and I don't know the answer. I hope you are able to talk to a doctor and find out your options. ❤️
I am also india how many c section do you have please reply
@@Priya-hi4hq five
How many babies do you have Which state are you how is your health after 5 c section . I have 3 c section but 2 babies expired can I go for 4 th c section. 4 c section is safe or not please reply
@@Priya-hi4hq i have 4 babies and i am from haryana its totaly depend on your body or health that how many c sections u can have
i had my 5th C section 4 months ago or I am in good health now
This is false. You can have a VBAC after many csections.
Absolutely. Always talk to your doctor/midwife and get all the information necessary to make an informed decision on what is best for mom and babe.
@@MabelsLabels_Mabelhood what you can no Dr. ever told me that they told me since I had one I had to keep having c-sections and I had 5 in total I had a tubal ligation and now I want another baby so bad Dr. scared me but now I started to research and find out I’ll be alright
Try finding a provider after 2. After you it is not impossible per se, but VERY hard. She’s right.
Please like after how many c-section s. 2 or 3
My 7th C section 🎉
Amazing! best of luck mama
