Did anyone here VBAC with their twins?

I've searched this board for vbac stories but most are about vbacing after twins. Did anyone here vbac with their twins?
I am a good candidate for vbac- low trans. incision, etc. Reason for c/s was because DD was in distress on a routine NST- so not a problem with mom or labour. Baby A is head down and bigger. OB is supportive and would do breech extraction of B if necessary.
However, now that I sit down to think about my (vag) birth preferences, I realize that there are so many more unknowns/uncontrollable factors with a twin vag delivery and I already know I'm not going to get some of the things I might want (eg. OB has already told me she won't let me squat to deliver). I'm starting to think we should just forget it and go with a c/s. I know it's no walk in the park, but at least we know what we're getting into.
Any experiences?

No experience either but I was just curious why your ob won't let you push squatting? Is it because it's a vbac?

I really don't know; i thought it was strange. I can push "squatting" in the bed, which is really just sitting with your feet planted, holding on to the squat bar, but she demonstrated a real squat on the floor and said no to that kind of squatting. When I went on the hospital tour it was clear that they really prefer the semi reclined, holding your knees position.

I'm betting its for their own convenience then if they will let you semi squat in the bed.....the squatting position on the floor is probably uncomfortable for the ob
