I'm pregnant with my second child, and I have the option of trying for a vaginal birth after cesarean. I'm having a really hard time with the decision, and I haven't been able to talk to anyone who's been through this. Can anyone share their experience?

Yes. It is possible to have VBAC. According to a statistics from Singapore, the chance of a successful VBAC is between 60% and 70%. It is generally higher for women who have had previous successful vaginal deliveries. The chance of success may be lower if the reason for the previous caesarean section was due to cephalopelvic disproportion (i.e. where the baby is relatively too big to pass through the maternal pelvis). http://www.singhealth.com.sg/PatientCare/ConditionsAndTreatments/Pages/Pregnancy-During-Pregnancy-Vaginal-Birth-After-Caesarean-Section.aspx I have a few friends who had successfully giving birth to their 2nd baby via VBAC. However, there is one who didn't manage to do it and end up a c-sect due to cervix unable to dilate. Do look for gynae that is pro-VBAC and has a good track records of successful VBAC. One of the recommendation will be Dr. Lai Fon Min from Camden Medical Centre. Another one is Dr. Paul Tseng from TMC.

I never had a VBAC before but Dr Chitra seems like a very popular choice in forums for mummies who are exploring VBAC as one of the birth plans. A friend of mine was very succesful with her VBAC and I shared her story here. I hope it will inspires you :) https://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=10153613287781635&id=621026634
