    There is no maximum number of c-sections a woman can have [at least this is what my doctor told me].

    Some doctors won't preform after 3 and some will determine if you can have another c-section by your health.

    Here is some info I retrieved from Healthline:
    There is no absolute limit in the number of cesarean sections a woman may have and it is not uncommon for a woman to have five or more cesareans without incident. As a general rule, the safety of a pregnancy following a cesarean section depends upon the mother's medical condition, her ability to withstand a major abdominal operation, and the condition of the uterus at the time of the most recent cesarean section. Most obstetricians have seen uteri that have healed well after six or more cesarean sections; they also have seen women in whom a previous cesarean section incision has opened before labor. Therefore, the answer to this question depends very much on your individual situation. In general, a woman will lose the desire for more children before the uterus will lose the ability to withstand another cesarean.
