I had a c-section with my first child and a vaginal birth with my second. Are you using the same doctor as from before? Maybe there are some reasons they are not wanting you to go for a vaginal birth. Have you discussed with your doctor why they think you should not have a vaginal birth? In most cases they will give you a choice. In my case I had a very lousy doctor for my first birth. I was in labor for 25 hours then had a c-section. But I didn't find out till I was pregnant with my second child that I was too small to give vaginal birth to a full term baby. So we went in early and had my labor induced in order for me to try and have a vaginal birth. It was scary, my baby got stuck and was turning blue. The nurse jumped up on the table with me and started shoving on me. The baby was in a position to where they could not do an emergency c-section with out possible cutting her also. Finally she came out, they gave her some oxygen and all was well with her. But I on the other hand had some more issues. Because the nurse had to get up on me and push so hard my uterus also came out. The doctor had to shove it back in and put me back on contraction medication. As far as they could tell, there was no permanent damage to me. But over the next 8 years I had 4 miscarriages and was bleeding on and off. I never had another normal period, then I just started bleeding all of the time to the point of anemia and countless emergency visits. Then after hemorrhaging I gave in and had a hysterectomy. For me, If I could do it over again I would had another c-section. I think when you are considering c-section or vbac count the costs. Why did you have to have a c-section in the first place? It seems strange that you can't find a doctor who wants to try vaginal, unless there is a good reason why you shouldn't try for one.
