Thank you for the question.

First of all, with the second pregnancy, you were an excellent candidate for a VBAC (vaginal birth after Cesarean). I am not sure why you were pushed into a C-section. The main concern is when the deliveries are less than 18 months apart. Under normal circumstances, with two prior C-sections and no prior vaginal births, you would need a C-section with the third. I would, though, have you ask your OB Provider if they consider that you might still be a candidate for a VBAC.

I hope that this helps and good luck!
