Depends on your doctor and where you'll be delivering. Some hospitals have a blanket ban on Vbac, others only allow it under specific circumstances. Some doctors don't cover Vbac at all. Ask your doctor if he/she covers Vbac. If no, find a new doc if that's what's important to you.
If yes, ask for specific numbers. How many successful Vbacs has he/she assisted? How many failed Vbacs? What would indicate another surgery in your specific case?
If you've had a vaginal birth before you're more likely to get your Vbac than if you've just had surgeries. I'd also check midwives in the area. Sometimes they're better able to help with a Vbac because they aren't restricted by hospital protocols.

Depends on how your doc or the doc that did your last csection cut you . If you have a bikini cut , you should be fine . But you'll have to ask your doc or the doc that did it if they cut your uterus the same way . If they didn't , then it'll be very hard and risky to try . I asked bout it to cause I was gonna try with this baby . But you also gotta go into labor on your own before or at 39 weeks . Cause they won't induce you after you had a csection . At 36 weeks , they'll have you schedule a csection just incase you don't go into labor on your own . It's been awhile since your last csection , so you should be fine on trying if you can (: there's only bout a 5% chance of your uterus ripping open again when you try a vbac . So it's not to high . I know a lot of girls/women who's done it ! Good luck (:

I want a vbac according to my doc it depends on the scar on your uterus and that scar don't nessecerally match the scar on your skin.

If its a _______(straight cut)_ scar on uterus a vbac is possible but if its a -------//------ (crucifix shape) than vbac isnt allowed according to my doc .

hope we are both allowed vbac!!!
