Talk, talk, and talk some more to your doctor. You still have time to decide. I've never had a c section, but one of my best friends had three children via VBAC after she had her first via cesarean. Her first baby was 9 lbs, 5 ounces, and they told her cephalopelvic disproportion (baby was large, wouldn't fit). Her other three were all 8 pounders. Her childrena are 17, 15, 12 and 9 years old, so this was quite a few years ago.
Talk to your doc about all the risks, benefits, complications, and what to expect. One thing though, if you were to choose a repeat c-section, it should be less frightening. A scheduled c-section is not like an emergency, especially as you had anesthesia issues. Without the rushing and the fright happening all at once, your experience would likely be better. Good luck and healthy baby!
