Thin Uterus?

my dr was stiching it up and the thread would rip trough like he was sewing through paper. He said after last c-sect, that another baby could be done but would be scary with the high risk of rupture and possible loss of baby but he refused to tie my tubes while he was operating.

Has anyone gone through this and had healthy pregnancys and babys.

I wanted one more while preg with the last and dont feel that my family is complete. but i am not trying yet just need advice.

BTW I am being careful but got pregnant once while on B/C pills, using foam and condems. so i am a firm believer that if the baby is meant to be it will find a way but also would like to be here to watch my kids grow up.

Update:

FYI im not panning to get pregnant for some time my baby needs to be just that for a while and when or if i do I will get A full medical evaluation first. and will probably look into adoption as a choice first, I cant use the IUDs due to an extra sensitive cervix but have tried. we are saving right now for my dh to have a vasectomy but thats a while away. I am just asking because I need advice from other women who have been through this.

    You need to see a specialist ObGyn (at least one) before you even consider having another baby. Your family will not be complete without YOU that is for sure.

    This sounds like it is very serious. Think long and hard about who would be there for the kids you already have if you died in childbirth. or how the older kids might feel towards that sibling if he/she survived and you did not.

    Think about who would make the school lunches and know who likes banana and who has an apple. Think about who would bandage their wounds or mend their broken hearts if you were not there.

    Then think about adoption if you want a bigger family is my advice.

    first of all, there are all sorts of laws regarding tubal sterilization so dont blame the doc for that one. Perhaps he did not feel like losing his license and going to jail for your sterilization, I am pretty sure you can understand that. Next time, get your tubal papers signed far in advance of the surgery and follow the federal and state laws in your state. do not get pregnant for at least 18 months to allow the scar to heal. next c-section should be done no later than 39 wks, your doc may even want to do it earlier than that to avoid having you go into labor. If your doc told you not to get pregnant again, then get an IUD, the Mirena is even more effective than sterilization.

    You may feel that a baby will find a way, but in the case of uterine rupture, you will most likely live. You may end up with a blood transfusion or hysterectomy, but the mom usually makes it. It is the baby that may either die or suffer permanent brain damage.
