I am one of those people who have been told if I have any more children that I will have to have a c-section. I had an emergency c-section. The incision on my uterus is vertical. This is an increased risk for uterine rupture with subsequent pregnancy, and I will have to wait at least 2 years. I will not have more children. This is not because of the c-section but because of everything after the c-section. I had identical twin girls born at 28 weeks gestation due to severe HELPP Syndrome. McKenzie spent 2 months in the NICU. Madison was born with a diaphragmatic hernia, and lost her battle with it at 5 months and 2 days old. I will not have any more because of the risk of HELLP, Diaphragmatic Hernia, Older maternal age, and the increased risk of uterine rupture. I also don't want to have a 3 year old, newborn and a c-section. I also never want to be back at the NICU. If all I had to deal with was the c-section and being able to bring my baby home than I would be planning more children. The c-section was not to bad. My grief has more to do with my hubby not being their, and me not even being awake during the c-section, and of course losing my precious baby Madi.
