In my experience (I've had 2 c-sections. 1 emergency, one by choice), it depends on the doctors. There are some that won't do it due to the risks, but there are many out there who will! If you really are wanting a vbac, I strongly suggest finding a doc who will do it for you. It is your body and your baby,and as long as there are no safety concerns, you should be able to choose for yourself! Good luck.
Lots of mums are now encouraged to have a vbac as the recovery is easier,but it's best to take your doctors advice.
