I don't have experience with VBAC (or "natural" childbirth, either...bless my anesthesiologist(s)!) but the one bit of advice I would offer you is to get the right medical team! From what I've read, it seems as if whether-or-not you "can" deliver naturally and safely depends largly on whether-or-not your doctor is a supporter of VBAC.

Write a clear birth plan and share it with everyone involved, too...just so they understand your expectations. A doula to act as your advocate (when you become distracted ) may also be a good way to keep the medical team focused on YOUR wishes.

I guess my advice boils down to "build a team of supporters!"

Again, welcome to TNH!

Blessings,
Lenora
