I've done alot of research on the VBAC after Cesarean process. What I've read is that after a c-section, people who choose to have a VBAC sometimes may experience complications during labor because of the scar tissues and previous damage on the uterus. The uterus is not as as strong so it doesn't handle the hard pushing or contractions due to the previous cuts. I've also read that once you have multiple c-sections, it becomes harder and harder to deliver each baby through c-section because of the constant build-up of scar tissue and damage to the uterus and doctors recommend only having 2-3 c-section deliveries. Scary either way. I had a c-section for #1 and am pregnant with #2, planning on a c-section again. I was told that some women don't qualify for VBAC if the baby doesn't drop down for a previous pregnancy...this was what my friend was told so she also had 2 c-sections. I was given the choice by my Dr. and my baby also didn't drop, so I don't know if there is a true benchmark on when you should/shouldn't do one. I've been told by friends who've done multiple c-sections that the recovery time is alot longer for the 2nd and 3rd baby's. Of which I'm not looking forward to.
My aunt had a VBAC 18 years ago and she said it was great with no complications.
I think it all comes to personal preference. I personally am choosing the c-section again because I have a high tolerance of pain so recovery wasn't bad for me at all. I know what to expect this time, and my family has a history of BIG baby's. (my 4yr old was just shy of 10 lbs) So, I'd rather take the stress and pain over putting my baby, so I will do it instead. C-sections are alot less stressful on the baby and they get a perfect head everytime...no cone. On the other hand, I will NEVER know what it's like to endure natural labor...so I will miss that part of being a woman and baring children. But, I won't have a potty problem...my bladder is good and I'll won't pee when I sneeze, caugh, laugh or jump...at least not until I'm old. :)
I think it's all personal preference.
