Who else is contemplating one? What was the reason for your section? Do you feel your provider is supportive?
I had my first via CS due to failure to progress after being induced at 35 weeks for oligo(low fluid). Both #2&3 were VBACs with 2 different OB groups because we moved. This one is planned as a VBAC as long as everything goes well.
Wondering if if you are a good candidate? Here is a calculator to help predict your success.

Re: VBAC- who else is interested
With DS, I just had failure to dilate so this is going to be something I discuss with my doctor at my first appointment. I know they are VBAC-friendly so the support is there, I just have to have the talk.

2nd was a natural med free vbac but baby had severe shoulder distocia. I'm hoping my midwives are on board for me attempting a second vbac, if we keep an eye on the size of the baby and this one isn't a giant.

Expecting Baby Bean February 2017
I am am waiting to talk to my on but thinking of trying for a vbac if I go into labor on my own by 41 weeks. If not, I will probably do a rcs at 41+1.
Rainbow baby after 3 losses
Due February, 2017
My first was a vaginal, 2nd baby grew too big due to GD and couldn't come down during pushing, 3rd was too close to 2nd and even bigger, and 4th was 'no other option' due to 2 previous CS and a clinic who doesn't believe in vbac after 2+ cs. (that baby was small enough to come down even).
4 losses- MC in 2006, MMC in February 2012 at 12 weeks and MMC (twins) August 2016 at 12 weeks. Pregnant again- 11/7/16. Another loss on December 28, 2016.
BFP April 23, 2017. Our triple rainbow baby! EDD: January 2, 2018. It's a boy!

My doctor is pro VBAC but I think I will just schedule a RCS for my due date and if I go into labor early will try for a VBAC.
1st was Vaginal
2nd was CS due to breech
my doctor doesn't support it but she's willing to transfer me if I decide to go with it
I'm with my original obgyn and think she's more on the same page with me. My first pregnancy was with a midwife.
