Thin Uterus Lining. What's This All About??

It is not uncommon for the usterus to br thin around a scar rom previou ssurgery. It is also best to wait 18 months between conceptions. Just becasue there was a thin spot does not ean you were headed for certain doom. You have to keep in mind while the condition does need to be monitored, physicians are also in CYA mode most of the time form the litigious environment they practice medicine in.

That being said, the decision is yours and your alson on whether or not to conceive again. However, After 3 c/s I would certainly do alot of research starting with:

ICAN_ International Ceserean Network www.ican-online.org there is also a local chapter finally! Run by Julienne Gooden.

Childbirth Connection: www.childbirthconnection.org

Cochrane Database: www.cochrane.org ( this is where credible research on all medical topics is complied and cataloged)

Try reading:
Silent Knife: Ceserean Prevention and VBAC By Nancy Cohen
Obstetrical Myths VS Research Realities By Henci Goer ( her website is great www.hencigoer.com)

VBAC Companion Guide By Biane Korte ( great whether you are planning VBAC or repeast c/s)

The Vaginal Birth After Ceserean Experience : Birth Stories by Parents and Professionals By Lynn Baptisiti Richards.

Going into the decision should be made with knowledge from research you have done and will help you make the most informed choice about your one health.

Good Luck!

I'm not positive, but when it is thin, it could rupture, and then the new baby and possibly you may not survive.I'm sure this is what they were concerned about.And you certianly want to be around to raise the three you have. It isn't like the Dr. is trying to make your decision for you on regualr things, he was trying to protect you and your family.

I know you don't like the decision being made for you but if my doctor says this should be your last child please listen to him. The decision is being made by your body and if you don't think your body is in charge of what you can produce ask the millions of women who have no children or the women who have premature infants with severe problems who would have done anything to spare those children all the pain they have went though. "Dodging a bullet" doesn't make you appreciate what you have?! Proverbs says "Teach me to number my days so I might apply my heart to wisdom". Value the days you have with 3 kids and please listen to wisdom!
