I have had 6 pregnancies, all resulting in single births. All 6 of my children were delivered by c-sections. They are now ages: 22, 20, 19, 17, 16 & 14. They came out healthy and still are to this day. My 1st c-sec came from swelling of my cervix... It was a wrap after that... I haven't ever experienced any complications before, during or after any of my pregnancies. In fact, I didn't gain weight or have problems with stubborn belly fat until my youngest was 11 years old. Many people are surprised that I even have 6 children, but they are in shock when they hear they were all delivered by c-sections. I have scar tissue, of course, but nothing major. Again, no complications!?! I did have my tubes tied, by choice, after my 6th one. Enough children for me! I didn't take any hormone pills/injections before or after to conceive. Call it fertile by nature, I guess. But I can't say, and I'm speaking for myself, from my own experiences, I didn't have any more soreness after the 6th one than I did with the 1st one. Honestly, I was so prepared by the time I had the 6th one, that I was up and walking within the 1st 12 hours after surgery. My abdominal area went back down as well. In fact, when my youngest was 2, I was in a size 9/10 and weighed maybe 145 at 5'4". But I wouldn't encourage anyone to get excited due to my experiences and think that their body could handle just as many if not more. We are all different and our bodies react differently to different things. Just know that it's not impossible, because I've been there, done that...
