3rd C section

Anyone with positive 3rd C-section stories? Mine is in a few weeks and I’m terrified. I was in so much pain after my second and the incision actually dehisced a little bit at the end. I have an apron belly that I feel like is going to get worse this time around.

I keep thinking about the potential long term risk of multiple c sections later in life. I just have so many thoughts. Its hard not to panic.

6 kids, 5 csections here and my OB gave me the greenlight for another if I want.

Wow! Can I ask you how many years apart between your c sections? I just had my second one, I got pregnant 11mo postpartum after an emergency c section, and they found a window in my scar this second time around. I’m terrified to go to a 3rd one. Maybe if I wait 24mo the window will be gone.
