Anyone have multiple C-Sections?

My husband and I are hoping to have a large family (4-6 children); however, women in my family have a rep for hard births and c-sections.  They were told after their third child not to have any more children because additional c-sections are dangerous.  Have any of you had more than three c-sections?  What is your experience?

I've had three..and my first two didn't heal properly..was never told this..until having my third.  (different doctor)  I was told during delivery.."good thing you don't want anymore, you couldn't carry them anyway".  
I made another post on here a couple days ago all about this..details are in there.  If you don't see it..let me know and I'll retell the story:O)

bless your heart!  Did you mean to say 4 c sections?  so you have 5 children, first vaginally delivered, and you think you are pregnant with your 6th?  If your scar was as "hard as a rock" that sounds like it would hold together pretty good doesn't it?  I would drill your doc with questions about your last surgery, and then go get another opinion even with a different group!
I have had 3 c sections and I'm pregnant with my fourth child.  I am due in March, and I'm praying hard that God will pave the way for me to have a successful VBAC!  I'm very frustrated by the doctors' readiness to give me the risks of a VBAC, but their lack of willingness to discuss the risk of c sections!

I have had one regular delivery, and 44 c sections! I was told by the doctor who did the last c section that my scar tissue was as hard as a rock! She told me that I CAN NOT have anymore kids. She also told me there was barely any bleeding! Now, I think I may be pregnant again! I am terrified! I tend to have 4lb babies. My question is would I be at a higher risk getting another c section or trying to have my child normal? I figure it's a valid question. Small babies, and not a lot of bleeding, is there less risk in a vaginal delivery? I am afraid I'm going to die and leave my kids w/o a mom! Oh, I can NOT have an abortion! HELP please!
