hi! and wondering about vbac

I had a scheduled c-section this past August because my daughter was breech. At my 6 week check up I asked how long we should wait before conceiving again. Dr said it didn't matter, whenever we wanted. Well I got knocked up much sooner than expected and LO2 is expected 13 months after DD's birth. I asked yesterday about RCS v. VBAC and my OB said so long as this baby's vertex I can do it vaginally. I'm confused because at previous appointments he has said I couldn't have a VBAC (too risky for ruptures) and in all my online research, 13 months is too close together for a VBAC. Am I wrong? I know I have so long, but should I be considering my options already? There's a good chance this baby will be breech too (my anatomy doesn't leave much room for a vertex position), but if there's a chance I can do a VBAC, then I want to make sure it truly is an option.

TIA. :)

    If your doctor is okay with it, I would go with their recommendation.  Someone posted here a while ago that your scar is as strong as it's going to be around 2 months after your c-section.  I think the 18 month restriction is largely a legal restriction, as opposed to something backed by research or science.
