Anyone have a VBAC after 2 csections?

I know this usually isn't recommended at least around here, but I'm curious anyway. Thanks!

I'd love to have one, but I'm also very aware that my chances are slim. My super earthy crunchy practice is discussing whether they're going to allow me a trial of labor and the latest the scheduled c/s can take place. People do do it, but it seems like stars have to be aligned and you have to have a lot of support.

I have not, but I have a girlfriend who did.  Her first was a scheduled c/s because he was suspected to be too big (he was just under 8 1/2 lbs even though he was estimated to be close to 10) and her second was just an ERCS because she didn't know there were other options.  Her third was a VBA2C.

There are 2 other girls in our VBAC support group who have had VBA2C too.

She and I were pregnant and VBACing together so we did a lot of reserch together and most of what we found showed that the risks after 2 were really not terribly worse than the risks after 1.  Of course, it is something you have weigh for yourself.

I also know that she had a hard time finding a provider (there was only one who would take her), but she said it was totally worth it to her.

I live in NJ and it is very hard to find someone willing to do a VBAC on someone who already had two c/s! I am trying to find one before i get pregnant again!

I was thinking about this last night and there are actually FIVE girls in our VBAC group who have had VBA2C and there are 5 girls who tried to VBA2C so that is a pretty good success rate!
