My LO was EMCS because we'd just found out she was breech and then labor started at 35 weeks (after I spent a few hours holding a friend's newborn and got dehydrated that day, which I will definitely not do should I get PG again!). My doc says that I was very low-risk and still should be, so a VBAC should be a good option for us.
I'd like to do VBAC because I worry that many of LO's problems (NICU for 12 days, lungs not ready, reflux, and very high-need early on) could have been connected to being yanked out of my belly too soon and without all the hormonal surges and such that go along with being pushed out.
That being said, I'd absolutely do another CS if that was the only way I could have another LO. But I would fight tooth and nail to get them to wait as close to by DD as possible.
Oh, and I do sometimes think to myself... Man, do I really want a VBAC? That would be wrecking the one part that didn't already get changed by motherhood! But I'm sure I'll get over that.
