Which type of incision is typical of a third time routine C-section?

I have had two c-sections with no complications, the incisions were both made in the same place, below my belly (bikini cut). I am due to have a third c-section in April, will it be possible to have the same place for the incision or do they cut up and down for the third one?

Yes it is possible to have the "bikini" or "transverse" cut every time. The only reason they should give you a "classic" or "vertical" cut is because of the baby being in a transverse position or if there is fetal distress. Some people believe that even with fetal distress you can have a bikini cut.
