I've had two cesareans and I heard I can only have a maximum of three. Is this true? So if I give birth to a third child via cesarean, how long should I wait until I get pregnant again, since I should be physically fit enough to handle a VBAC delivery for my would-be fourth child, right?

Yes Stephanie, but I believe she did say "I heard I can only have a maximum of three. Is this true?" There is a risk of the c-section wound rupturing if pregnancies are too closely spaced. It is recommended to wait at least 18 months before conceiving again. http://www.babycenter.in/x543066/how-soon-after-a-caesarean-can-i-get-pregnant
