Hello
Thanks for your query.
According to the latest scientific recommendations, it is now advisable for women with one previous Caesarean section to undergo VBAC trial - that is TOL ( trial of labour ) for VBAC ( vaginal birth after cesarean section ) .
Obviously the first indication of a breech presentation is not necessary a recurring one, so you have good chances of success.
Your age on the other hand is a factor that lessens chances of VBAC.
You should go for VBAC in a centre well equipped for maternal monitoring and facilities for urgent cesarean section if required.
All the best for your delivery.
take care.
