Yes. It's called VBAC - vaginal birth after Caesarian. It used to be thought that it was unsafe to do so, but recently the VBAC has become popular and with work and care, an acceptable practice. Of course, your doctor will have insight into your specific case; it depends on what the conditions of your other c-sections were as to whether they will recommend a vaginal birth for you.
Depends on the woman and how she healed, scarring etc. The doctor will say yes or not after examen you but there are women who can try.

vaginal birth after c-section
Not always, there are women who tries to have a vaginal birth after their first C-section but that is also up to the doctor. When having a c-section there will be a scar and that scar can burst during labor and with every c-section the scar gets thicker and more vulnerable. That is why they say you always have to stick to c-sections.
Whether you can have a vaginal birth depends on the reason for the C-sections. if it was for a reason that may be specific to each pregnancy, breech presentation or placenta previa for example, then you may be able to have a vaginal birth. If however they were because you have a small pelvis and/or have big babies or some other reason that makes a vaginal birth dangerous, it is probably safer to have another C-section. I did see a documentary about a woman whio had had FOUR c-sections and was determined to not only have a vaginal birth but a water birth at home. With a very supportive midwife and an Ob/Gyn on call she achieved her goal after an 18 hour labor. she was in tears, her partner was in tears, her midwife was in tears, and of course I was in tears. Good Lucl and have a healthy baby whichever way you deliver in the end.
If by "natural birth" you mean vaginal birth (as opposed to drug free vaginal birth) then the recovery from a Cesarean is much longer and more painful. With an epidural the labor and birthing themselves are not painful in both cases.
Because in c-section the baby did not pass by the birth canal or pelvic bone.
Doctors have always stated that once you have one c-section you should always give birth using this method. However a study has found that there is only a 1 percent risk if you choose to go vaginal.
There are doctors that will do this, so just call the office and ask if the doctor has done this before or if he/she would consider it. Sometimes it is a matter of the mother being more physically prepared for the vaginal birth. Sometimes there are reasons for the C-section that are not because of the mother, but rather the baby, or that specific pregnancy, however, there are certain things that are specific to the mother that require a C-section every pregnancy, so make sure you really understand the reason you had to have the C-sections before. Good luck.
A woman can give birth different ways. Either via Caesarean section or vaginal birth.
60-80% of women who try VBAC have a successful vaginal delivery.
The success rate for vaginal birth after cesarean section in patients who have had a prior low transverse uterine incision is approximately 70%.
