First of all , any pruritus in pregnancy needs proper care. It may be normal or sometimes indication serious diseases like cholestasis. You should check liver enzyme levels after consulting gynecologist. For the time being, apply calamine lotion but no other drugs without consulting doctors.
Now regarding VBAC, it can be attempted in a very good set up after assessing both you and your baby.
