I have discussed this with my doctor in regards to having more kids. Yes, the risk of it happening again is somewhat up there but it is possible for you to have more kids. Just make sure you tell your doctor exactly what you want and make sure someone that is on your side is in the deilvery room when you have your next one in case anything happens. Because if the doctor pulls on you placenta and you end up having another uterine inversion you can sue him for malpractice. The reason why i eneded up with uterin inversion is totally different than yours but I have discussed with my doctor all aspects of it. If it had not been for my doctor's quick thinking and my husband's useful hands since the nurses were busy with my daughter I would have died on the table at only the age of 20. So if your doctor is not informed then either find another doctor or educate your doctor about uterin inversion. It's more common than you think.
