Brief Answer:
Medically not contraindicated
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for trusting healthcaremagic.
Having 3rd child after 2 cesarean sections is a personal choice.
If you can afford time and money to rear the child then there is as it is no problem in bearing the child.
With increasing number of primary cesarean delivery the incidence of 3rd cesarean is also rising and are mostly dealt easily at a good tertiary care center.
Things important to note here are -
- Delivery will be by cesarean section only
- Chances of difficulty in operation because of adhesions formed due to previous surgery.
- If possible opt for permanent sterilization because 4th cesarean or unwanted pregnancy will be very difficult to handle in case happens.
I hope I have answered your question but in case you have any query I will be happy to help.
