There aren't a lot of people who have 5 c-sections so just wanted to update for others who might be in this boat that I had my 5th c-section in mid March, it went really well, healthy DD was born 7lbs 5 oz at 37 weeks in mid March. It was a little scary as I was at higher risk for accreta having had 4 prior c-sections including a vertical incision on my uterus the first time , my placenta was anterior which tends to also be riskier for accreta, but thankfully it was not a problem! My ob actually said my uterus still looked pretty good if we had wanted another (no, we don't, tubes are tied, we are done.) My recovery was always pretty easy and this was no different. It was scariest for me this time going in just with the increased risks of bleeding, etc., but it all thankfully worked out!
My ob has said that she has seen women with super thin uterine scars/windows even after much fewer c-sections, I have always asked her if she thought my uterus would be okay with another pregnancy even after #4 (and she did say yes, it still looked good), so that is one thing I would keep in mind, though!
I will post a picture and DD details on my cycle thread :)
