Is is possible to have a 4th c section if you want?

Is it possible to have another baby after you have undergone three c sections - first one was an emergency and the child died a few days after birth, the second was an emergency though was awake and thankfully she is alive, third one was an elective section and he is alive at least but I was stapled shut - the doctor told me the staples apparently heal skin wound quicker but to wait 2 years if you were going to try again and that simply the risks increase with the more children you have by section. I guess what is really upsetting me is I feel unlike women who have had a natural birth - its like 3 strikes and now you can no longer have children :(
