Answer
Dear Crystal,

I think you should have faith in your doctor.  :-)  There are many women who have had four C-sections and done fine. As long as you keep yourself as healthy as possible, all should go fine. And I would definitely recommend losing the smokes. I know, believe me, how difficult that is... but it will help with the possibility of anesthesia AND the transfer of oxygen to the baby.

Plus - here's the thing, Crystal - what choice do you have at this point? That baby isn't staying in there!! ;-)  Try to relax and have faith.

I hope this has helped you and answered your question. I wish you well.
