Opinions - Advice - I need it all

first off Hi! I'm 32, had DS at 26, so it's been 6 years since my csection. I was in labor for 10 hours pushed for 3 and ended with a csection because my hips were too narrow for my 9 pounder to fit through. 
My midwife is pushing for a VBAC. Which I'm interested in as we all know csection recovery sucks among other reasons. 
My fear is it was my hips, something that won't be different this time. Not a breech baby or other medical issue. So I'm worried I'll end up with another csection after laboring, which in my option would be the worst. 
Has anyone else had a successful VBAC having the narrow hip issue?

    What position was your DS in?  There are other positions besides breech that can affect delivery.

    FWIW, my vbac recovery was so much easier.  I personally would give it a try.

    My doc said that if I had needed a c section bc of narrow hips, it would make me not a good candidate for a vbac.  I'd talk w your docs honestly, and if you don't think their opinions are sitting well w you, go to another doc or 2 or 3 for different opinions.
