I will have a 22m age gap - do you think I can attempt a VBAC?

I had an 18 month gap. First baby - induction, very long labour and emergency c section

2nd baby. VBAC in under 3 hours’

i know everyone is different and i was monitored throughout for abruption (just in case) but positive stories really helped me!

There's 25 months between my two. First was an EMCS after failing to progress (was in labour for 4 days) dream recovery with no issues but still took weeks. Second realised I was in labour early evening arrived at hospital just after 11pm and he was born within 20 mins, successful VBAC and recovered within a few days. I'm not having a third but if we were I'd probably try for home VBAC.
I'd definitely attempt a VBAC if I was you so much easier if straightforward.

Was 15m between my vbac was another emc ultimately but I don't regret trying
Currently expecting 3 and they strongly steered me away from vba2c sadly

I had emcs, currently pregnant with 2nd will be 18 months apart and been given the ok to try VBAC!

I’m pregnant with my second and will have a 2.5 year age gap between the two and my consultant said anything over 2 years is ideal as less risk of rupturing (although this is relatively low anyway!).

I had an emergency c section first time then VBAC for the next two. Age gaps were 2 yrs 4 m and 22 m. Nearly had womb rupture with baby 3 and told not to have any more children.
