Pros and cons of a VBAC?

I’m wondering how many moms had an elective cesarean with their first pregnancy and opted and was successful with a vbac?? Also when did you go into labor and any signs of labor coming? Lastly, when did you dilate and were you aware of dilation before cervix check! TIA

I don’t think anyone can be aware of dilation before a check can they?

I had an emergency cesarean with my first and had a successful vbac with my son 5 years later. No signs of labor. I was laying down when my water broke. My water broke around 6pm & I had him 6pm the next day…

I had an emergency c section for my first and 13 months later I had a vbac I knew I was going into labor because I had period like cramps and I had my 2nd to last OB appointment that day and sent me to the hospital

It would depend on the amount of time between pregnancies, what type of incision was used during the c-section and if your hospital has the staff/equipment for you to choose to do a successful vbac. I thought I felt myself dilating but it was just pubis dysfunction and I actually wasn’t dilated at all and ended up with another c-section bc they will not induce labor for a vbac.
