C-section v natural birth

Hi ladies

I have recently found out that I am expecting my 3 baby, spring 2021 😁
I already have 2 gorgeous girls, ages 2&4.
Both my girls where born by C-section, due to both being breech @ 29 weeks.
My question is: has anyone ever experience several C-sections and then went on to have a natural birth?
I have read so many horror stories, about having a section, then an natural birth and you can rupture your previous scar, bleed heavily etc etc?
I would love to have a natural birth, as you recover so much quicker than you do with a section and I have 2 younger kids to look after, as well as a new born, so a section isn't possible.
If I have to have one, for the safety sake of my baby and myself, then yes, I'll defo have one but I would prefer to experience natural once.
Any thoughts or shared experiences, would be appreciated

Tricky be with first vag birth maybe you won't recover as quickly? Lots can go wrong! Childbirth section here is good for balanced help.

I had c section with my first he was too large to exit. Had a VBAC wth my second, as she came before the planned section. It was a straight forward delivery, no issues and a much quicker recovery than the c section, even though I recovered really well from the cs.
I was in the monitor constantly through labour and I did lose quite a lot of blood but not as much as in my first labour that ended in an emcs.
I wouldn’t want to be induced after having a cs as that does raise the risk levels. So maybe book the cs and see if you go into labour before. I do recognise that I was really lucky with my VBAC and also she was nearly a pound lighter.
