If a person has had 3 c-sections can she have another one safely?? Is it true a baby can injur a woman by kicking her and causing her to be bruised on the outside?? Is it true a woman who has lost a baby should have a D&C prior to another pregnancy?? Is it true the baby can hurt the mother so bad with moving around inside the mother is hurting and claims she needs bedrest?? Thank you

I’ve never heard of this happening. I suppose anyone can claim injury and request bedrest, but bedrest wouldn’t solve the problem and can actually harm a mother. If you are having this problem, I’d suggest you see your doctor.
