Rant/Vent Multiple c sections

I’ve been TTC for 7 months now, I’m 39 with an AMH of .6

I went to see a fertility specialist and after they did an internal sonogram she noticed my lining by my c section scar is thinner and said she wants my OB approve that I can have another baby. I told
Her I already spoke to my OB and while she delivered my last baby she said I can have another, it will be ok. And she said that she wants confirmation before going forward.

I understand no one wants the livability, but I’m worried that my OB will feel pressured from another doctor to not treat me if I were to get pregnant.

I know c sections for me and a potential future baby can be dangerous, but my mom had 6 and my grandma on my dad’s side had 5 and that was 60+ years ago.

I feel like im stuck. Because of my age I need intervention and the longer I wait the worst my odds get at my age and I feel like I can’t go anywhere for help.

If anyone has any advice I would appreciate it

Your ob has seen how you healed from the first c-section when she did your second. This is much more likely to be helpful information than the scan. Your fertility specialist is doing the right thing, and getting confirmation from the treating Dr is reasonable. Your ob is likely to say yes, so follow the steps.

I mean to be fair to the fertility specialist, she can’t really just take your word for it when it could seriously risk your health. Her decision to consult another medical professional seems prudent to me.

Why not just ask your doctor first and see how it plays out? If not, try to get a second opinion. The thing about risk is that it’s modified by multiple factors, making it hard to predict 100%, and both doctors’ and patients’ risk tolerances vary. At the end of the day, you get to choose because it’s your life.

The consequences of a ruptured uterus can be catastrophic for mother and baby. Please take the medical advice that is given to you. If they have grave concerns about the thickness of the tissue, would it really be worth it to you to risk your life (and baby’s life) when you already have children at home?
