Having probably not a great day today but feeling very unsure suddenly about my decision to go for a vbac
Background is 33 weeks with dc2. Ds was an emcs for lots of little reasons - failure to progress, back to back, in awkward position which meant I couldn't get to 10cm and would have needed theatre forceps deliver. Anyway felt like huge failure after this, hated the recovery issues, and determined to go for vbac
But now I'm not so sure. Everything I read here suggests elcs are lovely and calm. Plus I'm a very overly organised person and I don't feel like I can cope with uncertainties of normal birth, not in least when will it happen. And having a few problems with dh at the mo, which is a whole other story but if we did go for a vbac I would need lots of emotional support which I don't feel he could give me.
So can anyone tell me their positive vbac stories? Or how an elcs wasn't that great? I think I'm forgetting it's a major op, it's just that ive been through one c section already so it's a known thing to me whereas natural birth is complete unknown
