VBAC with back to back baby

Hi all, hoping for a VBAC. My first was undiagnosed footling breech ending in emergency c-section. I’m 40 weeks and midwife told me yesterday baby is back to back. I don’t know now if this will change how I feel about a Vbac. Or have a planned c section. Has anyone got any advice? Or been in the same situation? Thank you

Mine was back to back. It wasn't for want of trying but I could not push him out, he was just stuck. It was also bloody painful.

So, forceps delivery for me which was shit and caused a lot of damage and I'd rather have had a c section!

So, c section all the way!

I guess the baby could turn but personally I wouldn't risk it.
