Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
The minimum scar thickness to go for a VBAC trial is 2 cm. The chances for scar dehiscence is high when the scar thickness is below 2 cm. In your case the thickness is very low so there are high chances for dehiscence and even for rupture. So it is better to go for CS to avoid potential complications.
Wishing you good health.
Thanks
