The first thing to remember is, your medical decisions are up to YOU.
There are certainly women out there who have had VBACs after 2, 3 or more cesareans. Your risk of uterine rupture does go up with multiple cesareans, but then your risks also increase the more cesareans you have. It's up to you which set of risks you are comfortable with. There is not a lot of information available on women who VBAC after so many cesareans probably because there is a small pool of women having that many children to begin with in the US.
Do your own research and make your own decision.

How do you calculate VBAC rates?
A VBAC rate is the number of women in a given hospital or area that give birth by VBAC. You can't really calculate it but you can look up what a particular hospital's rate is sometimes on their website. VBAC rates for the USA can be found on the CDC's website.

Can you give birth after having cesarean with your first baby?
Yes, you can have a vaginal birth after cesarean (VBAC). If you have a supportive care provider your chances of having a successful VBAC are 2 in 3, the same as a first time mother's chances of having a vaginal birth. For more information about the risks of VBAC and risks of repeat cesarean check out ican-online.org.
If you had a c section for a breech baby 5 yrs ago and ruptured tubular pregnancy 6 mos ago with history of endometriosis should you have vbac?
You may be allowed for vbac bcoz breech is not a absolute indication for section & also risk of progression of endometriosis is more with the section. But ultimately treatment plan should be judged based on the conditions prevailing at that time.
Can a woman have a vaginal birth after 3 cesections?
Yes this is possible, though it can often be very difficult. Before making the decision, you should probably do some research on VBAC (Vaginal Birth After Cesarean) and determine if this is something that you want to do. Birth doulas are also good support during a VBAC.
Is it harder going ahead and doing VBAC?
It depends what you mean by hard. It might be hard to find a care provider that is truly supportive of VBAC, yes. But the recovery period from a VBAC is much easier for most women. Also the risks to your own body and to your baby are less from a VBAC. We are only beginning to understand the true risks to a child from being born surgically, you can google but some of those risks include lifelong increased risks of allergies, intestinal issues, even testicular cancer! I know, crazy right? Sometimes the things that maybe seem hard to do, are really worth it. It's hard to eat right and take care of yourself too, but we should all do that as well. Good luck and make sure you do your research!
Can you deliver after 3 c sections?
The answer is yes but most midwives/doctors will advise against it in case your c-section scar ruptures. If you want a VBAC (vaginal birth after caesarean) then your doctors will advise you of the possible dangers. I think the risk of rupturing a scar is minimal but most don't like to take the chance. I have known women who have gone on to have VBAC.
Whats the chances of your uterus rupturing if you give vaginal birth after a c section?

It can be done but you really need to talk with your doctor first and weight the postives and negatives of doing so and make an imformed choice.
