How many C-sections? And how to space them apart?

I’ve had two C-sections. Is it very risky to have third child which would also be by C-section? My family member who is a GP said up to three by C-section is hmmm ok, but I shouldn’t have more than that.

Also we’re supposed to space them by two years - so I should wait two years from
the last birth before I start trying, so the gap will be minimum 2y 9m, is that right? Not two years between births.

I’ll speak to the GP about all this of course but I just had these questions in my head tonight.

I had 4 in 6 years. Probably not advisable but I didn’t have any complications. I had 15 months between 1 and 2 and then 2.5 years between 2 and 3 and 2 years between 3 and 4.
