Cesarean section (C-section) is a surgical procedure to deliver a baby through an incision in the abdomen and uterus. It is typically performed when vaginal delivery is not possible or safe. The number of C-sections a woman can have depends on several factors, including her overall health, the reason for the C-section, and the skill of the surgeon.
In general, most women can safely have two or three C-sections. However, each subsequent C-section increases the risk of complications, such as uterine rupture, placenta previa, and postpartum hemorrhage. For this reason, doctors will typically only recommend a C-section if it is medically necessary.
