Vbac after a preemie, new intro

 I am expecting my 2nd LO sept. 22. My DD was born at 36 weeks gestation via emergency c-section due to fetal distress. My OBGYN never figured out why it happened, other than when it came for her to produce her own glucose everything went haywire. I will be meeting up with a fetal specialist soon. But has anyone here had a vbac after a preemie? My obgyn said I wasn't the best or worst candidate for a vbac. I would like to try vbac,yet I am concern about uterine rupture.  Any advice? Thanks.

    I'm hoping to attempt a VBAC. DD1 was born at 34 weeks following 9 days of hospital bedrest for pre-eclampsia. So far, the previous pre-e has not surfaced and my MW has not ever brought up the reason for having a preemie as why I can't try. Why does your

    Hi, my 1st was born at 31w5 days via csection due to hellp syndrome. I just had my 2nd vbac. This time I went to a MFM dr. Because I wanted to have someone to keep an eye on things and also because MFM are the only ones that do vbac at my hospital.&nbs

    Thank you all for the advice. I do want to try. My dr said I wasn't the best or worst so I'm in the 50/50, lets see how things develop. So if things turn good I will definitely for for a vbac.

    I just want to encourage all of you to do your own research. Get involved in a local ICAN meeting or FB page. We have options as women we can't realy on a doctors opinion and mostly scare tactics. It's their job to give you the worst outcomes. Be informed

    This is only anecdotal, but from all the birth stories I've read over the years, I have never read that a previous preemie was a reason not to be able to have a VBAC. I read many a story of successful VBACs after such situations!
