Good candidate for vbac?

I had a c-section 4 1/2 years go with my daughter and realize these days it's harder to find a doctor to do a vbac.  Does anyone know what criteria doctors look for to allow you to have one?  I only had one before because I had pre-eclampsia and it was an emergency.

    Barring an emergency like you had before, you are most likely a great candidate for a VBAC.  The first thing I would do is try to find a supportive provider through your local ICAN chapter.

    Some docs will allow them, but really aren't supportive and will have strict criteria for "allowing" a VBAC.  Those are the ones you want to avoid!  :)

    i had pre-E and was told even before the c-section i would be an excellent candidate.  i never even went into labor on my own, baby was high up, never dilated cervix or entered birth canal.  I imagine you had a similar situation but the only way to know is to talk to a doctor, as PP mentioned just make sure it would be a doctor in support of vbacs
