What are your opinions on VBAC ?

So, I'm pregnant with my third baby. My son is 4, attempt number two was a miscarriage at 7w5d and I am 7w1d with baby number 3. I had a c-section with my son, due to his huge head. I was just looking for mommies opinions or experiences with VBAC. Your help would be appreciated.

Thank you & God bless.

    It should be widely available and supported more often, that more women need to try it (in 2006 only 6% attempted, I am one of them - and I was successful). If the large head was due to hydrocephalus then perhaps you should attempt, if it was cephalo-pelvic disproportion and you were actually pushing with no progression, it might not be advised you have a trail of error.

    i-Can might be a good resource for you, they have a lot of data on VBACs and a data set of hospitals and doctors that would support VBAC, and it would help you too Izzy. Get a doula if you are going to try, start exercising, eat properly, and be proactive with your doctor.
