The fourth pregnancy is riskier than a normal pregnancy.

While the doctors confirmed that both the mother and the baby were doing well, they emphasized the heightened risks associated with a fourth pregnancy. The medical team explained that with each subsequent pregnancy, especially after multiple previous surgeries, the risks increase. They specifically mentioned the thinning of the uterine wall after the third pregnancy, which elevates the danger of uterine rupture.

Doctors advised that the optimal scenario would be to schedule a C-section at full term to avoid the potential complications of spontaneous labor. They also expressed concern about postpartum hemorrhage, noting that repeated surgeries can lead to adhesions, further increasing the risks for this fourth operation. In the worst-case scenario, the doctors stated that the uterus might need to be removed.
