AnswerCurrent research shows that multiple cesarean sections may cause serious health complications for the mother and baby.
Here is some information regarding it:

Unfortunately, maternal morbidity (injury) and death rise significantly with every additional c-section. In addition, the chance of needing a potential hysterectomy (which would prevent future pregnancies) is also increased.

It may be safer to at least attempt a trial of labor rather than to simply have a c-section or to have a VBAC (Vaginal Birth After Cesarean)
