It really (as someone else said) depends on your OB and what they reccomend. I would think it would be too risky to try a VBAC but talk to your OB and they will tell you what will be best since every situation is different... Congratz on the pregnancy and God Bless

It ultimately depends on the doctor.  Some doctors will allow you to try so soon, others will insist you have another c-section.

I had a c-section this past February, and 3 mos later I found out I was pregnant, putting me due again in February. My doctor told me in order to try and have a vaginal birth, I would have had to have 18 months in between my delivieries, which is not possible. So, I am guessing they will not allow you to......but I would def talk to your doctor about it.

You will most likely end up having another c-section. A lot of doctors recommend waiting a year between births because it gives your uterus time to heal, but it's up to your doctor. You may be able to have a vaginal birth.
