I would just add that whilst VBAC is a good aim, be open to the professionals if they advise against it at the time and don't be devastated if it doesn't work.
I was dead against another c section after an awful experience with DS1 (full dilation, pushing, forceps, then emergency c section under general followed by a year recovery) that I was absolutely determined not to have another c section.
All throughout pregnancy they kept advising a section and I kept saying no. I decided i wanted to give my body the best chance so refused a planned section Then eventually at 42+2 I ended up with an 'elective' section, as I was showing no signs of going into labour and they refused to induce.
I was in tears when they told me but actually the elective section was such a different experience to the emergency and I couldn't believe that it was so good. I still had all the aftermath of a section but my recovery was far far quicker than after the emergency section. DS2 was 10lbs 2oz and probably would have ended in a section anyway (as 9lb1oz DS1 got stuck) so it worked out for the best in the end.
Don't get me wrong I still would have preferred a VBAC as it would have been easier in the long term (whilst not having actually delivered vaginally I consider myself to know what it's like after full labour and forceps , as the midwife said you've been as stretched as anyone!)
Go for it all you can but be open to change and that it is not the end of the world if your VBAC doesn't actually happen.
Very best of luck!
