fourth c-section worried

So the end is in sight ! Exactly three weeks to go with a schedule d c-section. .getting nervous and scarred because this is my fourth  cut and  they keep telling me its possible I will need a hysterectomy if they can't close my uterus due to scar tissue!  Anyone have 4 sections w/o complications?? My last c was six yrs ago and they never said anything like about me having too much scarr tissue or that I schould not have a fouth baby!!  Really just looking for some reassurance here

I have one friend who never goee into labor, so every baby has been a csection. She had #6 five years ago. After babies 3 and 4 her doc said she would never heal right, shouldn't have any more, etc. After #5, her doc was amazed and said she looked great and gave her the green light for #6. Her uterus had done an excellent job of healing. Its possible her case is rare, but its hard to know since so many people stop having babies after 2 or 3 c sections.
