I could have written this post - I feel exactly the same way. I have thought back and forth on VBAC and think I'm weighing towards a scheduled c-section with number 2 (no we aren't expecting yet) - just not sure it's worth the risk. But of course I may change my mind when the time comes. I'm sure you will choose the best option for you <3

While I didn't have ANY labor, I also have feelings like my body failed me because I ended up with a C-section. I had a bit more time to process it since E was breech, but it still wasn't (isn't) something I'm totally comfortable with.

As you may (or may not) know, I'm planning on attempting a VBAC this time. Hopefully. If #2 cooperates. I haven't heard too many success stories, which makes me really nervous, but I'm hoping to be able to do it. I feel like I've missed out on something as a woman by not actually going through labor. And, like you, I realize there are positives to the C-section and am just happy that E arrived safely...but I still mourn the loss of that.
