You'll have to find a doc to do it (which may be your biggest challenge), but I just read that the more sections you have the more important a VBAC is. Watch More Business of Being Born, the VBAC episode if you can!
I'm going for a VBAC... let us know what you decide!

It is definitely hospital/doctor specific. My midwife is thumbs up VBAC on 2 previous cesareans and depending on the specific circumstances of the previous complications.
I'm sorry I am looking for the article I read but can't find it. Mostly what I have found online is that VBA2C is safe in many cases, but haven't found much on 3+. I know that the placement of your scar(s) and reasons for previous c-sections will be some of the factors in determining whether or not you are a good candidate.
You might want to try to see if you can find a nurse-midwife instead of an OBGYN...one who delivers in a hospital where, if needed, they could get you prepped and ready for a section if needed.
Like other PPs suggested, you'll have to talk to your doc about it.

My hospital doesn't do them due to liability issues.
