v bac/natural birth?!

I had a c section in 2011 after 38 hours in labor and my doctors  pushing me into another one. I don't want to. I had to have one with my daughter because I was causing her stress with the pitocin and I'm having a boy and thus us my last pregnancy and want to have the birth experience but my doctor keeps saying no. I have had a normal pregnancy no complications and he is growing fine!! I just don't understand why I can't try it natural. Doctor says physically I can he just don't recommend a v bac??? Why?? 32w+2 c section scheduled October 20. :(

Find a duala, midwife or someone who supports you. Theres no reason, besides protecting his own butt, that you shouldn't be able to try for it. This is your birth, fight for what you want

I feel like I can do it and if the doctors are saying physically I can then why not let me try? I mean if worst comes to worst I can have another emergency section. I just want the experience of actually bearing my child. Especially since me and my husband have decided we don't want anymore children. This is my last chance to have this experience!!

Dont let the dr push uninto anything...sadly most drs push c senctions to protect themselves from lawsuits..but 85% (or something close 2 that)....of c sections r not necessary...

The general rule is 2 years of healing for vbac. You might have to find another OB...
