More than one c-section

I had an emergency c-section 7 weeks ago, and I'm aware that I can't get pregnant in the next 18 months which is fine, but I'm wondering if people have had more than one c-section and that everything was okay with a second or third pregnancy. I'm 29 years old and previously I've had 2 laparoscopic surgeries for endometriosis, and now the c-section, aware that there will be a lot of scar tissue. But I've always wanted at least 2 kids, so is it possible to have two or even three c-sections if healed properly?

I had an emergency c-section with my 1st baby in June 2024 and soon after I fell pregnant again and so far pregnancy had gone okay I'm 30 weeks now and I have booked an elective c-section this time as that's personally what I want but everyone's different. They advise not to get pregnant in the first 18 months but it's does happen quite alot I was extremely nervous and had alot of anxiety when I found out but I had a chat with my midwife and she said again we don't advise it this soon but all appointments I've had so far everything is safe and health with both myself and the baby xx

I’ve had 2 endometriosis surgeries plus two other surgeries on my stomach before my emergency c section. Now going for my second c section this year. It’s hard to say as everyone heals so differently! There was very little scar tissue at the last c section for me - it’s hard for them to truly know until they open you up. I’m hoping it’s the same this time - I did have an MRI before getting pregnant this time that showed very minor scar tissue. Did they say there was lots of scar tissue at the last c section? How do you generally heal?

I had my first section in June 23, then my second one two weeks ago. Absolutely no issues whatsoever - I was advised to wait 18 months after my first. Lots of people go on to have multiple sections successfully so I wouldn’t worry. I don’t have experience of having endometriosis surgery as well as these however.

I had my first emergency c-section in 2022. Was unexpectedly pregnant 6 months later and decided with Dr that repeat c-section was best due to timing (hoping to avoid uterine rupture). Second c-section went smoothly overall and no complications!

I had an emergency c section in June 2025. Had surgery for an ectopic in 2023 so lots of scar tissue. Fell pregnant September 2025. Currently 34 weeks and all scar tissue seems fine 😊 will be having an elective c section x

My sis had 2. 1 emergency and 1 elective, both very normal pregnancies
