6th pregnancy 1st vbac

Hello ladies,

I am looking for some advice tips or experience of similar situations if at all possible. 

So I am currently pregnant with my 6th child and have had 4 vaginal births the births 1 w and 3 were pretty straight forward but the 4th was very traumatic a lot of errors were made and both baby and I ended up very poorly but luckily recovered ok 5th birth was a c section due to breech baby and fear of giving birth again which I had to receive counselling for as 4 the birth so traumatic. So my concern is now do I have an elective c section with this comes risks the Drs are recommending a vbac and say I have 82% chance of a successful vbac and that they will do a c section of problems occur. I thought I was ok about all of this but as I my due gets closer I really am not I worried about the risks of the c section but then I am also worried about a vbac going wrong and the potential for a uterine rupture. 

So I am just looking for anyone who has similar stories and how they coped or any stories they want to share. X

    I don't have any real advice but I am sorry this is weighing so heavily. 
    I will say I am on baby number 5... ds #1 vaginal... ds #2 and #3 twins cs3ction.... ds #4 RCS.... and now DS#5 will be a RCs. I'd love to vbac but to be honest.... I've lost so much muscle tone with multiple pregnancy I dont know that my body could do it.  That's one thing u may need to consider that differs from a 1 or 2 baby mama. I know my safest option is RCS. ..

    Fingers crossed for u

    I would surround yourself with positive people, hire a doula if you can, print out or color some birth affirmations, read VBAC birth stories, concentrate on getting your mind in a really good place. You know your body is capable, but it needs your mind and your heart backing it up. If it was specific interventions, etc that made the traumatic birth that way, be sure to discuss that with your care provider. Make sure everyone is on the same page.
