I've had 2 previous sections. First cause labor didn't progress and baby was 10 lbs 9 Oz, second was same reason, labor failed to progress and I was going for a vbac, but baby was smaller, 7 lbs 13 Oz. I really want to try vbac again, but going through another 20+ hours of labor is not sitting well with me so I may just accept that I won't be able to give birth vaginally! Long as my baby is healthy which is due September 4th but will be early because of the schedule of the section! Good luck and congrats!

3rd pregnancy. And thwy wont let me try vbac (even tho baby is measuring almost 5lbs maybe) i had my 1st csection due to large baby. 8lbs 12oz. She couldnt even get into canal. Second i went into labor and they automatically did csection. This one, they dont even want me going into labor due tobpossible uterus rupter. (Smalleat pregnancy ive had. And she is measuring small!) but still chance or even an option to vbac. :(

They should be able to check your scar tissue in your ultrasound, but I doubt even if it looks good they would let you try vba3c

I'm pretty sure they won't allow you to attempt a VBAC after maximum of 2 c sections. Risk is way to high. Just set your mind on a C and have you and your baby healthy. I know it's hard. I'm going for my first VBAC but if I have to have a C section due to baby being big or scar tissue being thin then I've accepted that. Keep your head up!

I believe you can only have VBAC after only have 1 c section because of the risks.
