Can I have an elective csection if had a vbac already?

My first baby was an emergency csection due to foetal distress and second baby was delivered by ventouse due to foetal distress again. I think I'd rather have an elective csection for baby 3 as the last birth was quite traumatic for me even though baby came out the right way!
I haven't had my booking in appointment yet but do you think I will have to have another vbac this time as the last one was successful ( on paper)?

Yes you can get an elective. I'd say that having had an emcs and vbac you'll be in a good position to argue your case.

Thanks another, I hope it won't be too difficulty arguing my case, I know the NHS is obsessed with babies coming out of vaginas.
