That seems so unfair to me. I understand it from the aspect of your and Baby's health, and of course nothing else matters, but to be told "that's it, you've reached you limit??
How did that make you feel? I think it's awful..

Given that I had one ectopic pregnancy, two 'missed' abortions and four miscarriages, even one baby would have been wonderful. I count myself so very lucky to have had 3 healthy gorgeous kids. It never entered my head to think of the advice of my obstetrician as 'unfair'. I've been blessed and I give thanks every day of my life!
a friend of mine has had 3 and is expecting her 4th by c-sect.
She was told by one consultant that he wanted to sterilise her after this baby but she refused. Another consultant has told her he sees no reason why she cant continue having c-sections.
Perhaps its an individual choice of the surgeons / consultants as more work is involved with each subsequant section and maybe a longer recovery time.

I had a section first and was told if I had an elective second I would have to have a third and last section. I suppose that they Reccomend that is the limit but if you get pregnant it does have to come out. Some time the consultants have to decide when you are putting yourself and baby at risk and have to point out the facts but they cant stop you.
I was not forced to have my first section but was advised to for the sake of my health and that of my baby. I am personally not in the habit of disregarding medical advice. However some women have no problem with 4 sections.
I think the phrase is "calculated risk"
