I've had three c-sections over the past 3.5 years, and I'm really struggling. During my first pregnancy, there were some complications with the blood flow, so they did an emergency c-section in the 7th month, but unfortunately, my baby boy passed away after 39 days in the NICU. Now, I have two daughters who are 2.5 years and 10 months old, born at 36 and 37 weeks. My high blood pressure was only a problem during those pregnancies because of the protein levels. I'm just constantly feeling down because I really want another chance to have a son. Is it possible for me to go through a fourth c-section? If it is, how long should I wait before trying? I'm eager for your advice.

Considering your complex medical history, including three C-sections, reversal of flow, preterm births, and hypertension, it's crucial to consult your obstetrician and a fertility specialist; they will assess your overall health, uterine health, and potential risks before advising on a fourth C-section, which may be possible after a minimum gap of 2-3 years, but a thorough evaluation is necessary to determine the best course of action.

I've been dealing with this white discharge that smells really bad, and it's kind of watery. I'm not married, and I travel four hours every day for work. It's been worrying me, and I'm not sure if it could be related to my daily routine or something else. Could this be something serious or just a common issue? What should I do?
