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 using misoprostol and started bleeding about 2 hours afterward. It kept going but today, the bleeding's really reduced. Should I be worried and see a doctor, or is it okay to wait it out a bit longer?

I've been able to insert two fingers into my vagina and I'm wondering if that means my hymen might be broken. Is it true that if the hymen breaks, there should be noticeable bleeding?

Its possible to insert two fingers into the vagina without the hymen breaking, as the hymen can stretch or be flexible. The breaking of the hymen doesnt always result in bleeding, as it can vary from person to person. Some may experience minimal bleeding, while others might not have any at all.
