Is it possibal for me to have a VBAC after three cesarean sections?If so, what are my risks?

Talk to your doctor. Everyone's risk assessment is different. After talking with mine, I am not gong to go for the VBAC. Uternine rupture is rare, but is almost always fatal to the baby and very frequently life-threatening to the woman because they often cannot stop the bleeding. It's just not a risk that I am willing to take.

I had a C sec with my second baby, I got pregnat 1 1/2 years later and I tried to deliver VBAC, my uterus broke in the same place where my C section was performed. My little Adriana suffered a lot and she died 2 days later on march 16th. I know the odds are very rare, but try to get as much information as you can before deciding to get a VBAC. Best of luck.

I dunno, I wouldn't risk it...that's alot of scars you got there!! But you should try to strengthen your uturus anyway by drinking rspberry tea while pregnant...but in your case I would still have the c-section...the risk is WAY too high.
