How long should I wait???

So DD just turned 1 last month and DH and I have been talking about the next baby. I'm turning 29 soon and we would like to have 4 kids, but I do NOT want four csections!!! I haven't done much research on it yet since we just started talking about #2, so I'm wondering how long should we wait for me to heal until next baby to increase a successful vbac? I understand that there are risks any time, but I would like to know actual success stories and time frames if that made sense? Please no sad or scary stories....I'm trying to stay optimistic lol

My OB said at least 18 months between births

I had a c-section with my first, then a VBAC with my second 19 months later, another VBAC 20 months after that, and the one I'm currently pregnant with will be about 22 months after the last one.

Where I live they want a full 2 years between births to ensure everything is healed and strong again. So you can get pregnant, as long as your due date is 2 years after first.

My dr said I only had to wait 6 months after my first, but I don't know if I trust that advice! This baby will be due exactly 24 months after my first and every OB I interviewed gave me a green light to try for a VBAC. Not sure if there's a minimum standard, but they seemed to think I was well past it.
