needing advice!!!

Hello ladies.  I am 38 weeks 4 days prego with baby number 2.  My first I ended up having a c section with due to failed induction and failure to progress.  I ended up getting really sick and a bad infection but my baby was healthy.  This time 4 years later I have been given the option for vbac.  At first I was so sure that it was exactly what I wanted.  However now I am having serious anxiety.  For one thing I am overseas with my husband so its a new hospital.  I have yet to get my records transfered so no one has seen my surgical report.  My doctor says their should be no reason for my last c section to have been a vertical or classical cut which can increase the risk of placenta rupture.  For some reason I just feel terrified suddenly like something bad will happen.  I think my last doctor made a lot of mistakes.  My mom was in the operating room with me and says my daughter had moved into the birth canal and was stuck, doc almost lost us both.  Can anyone give me advice or encouraging words?  I don't know what to do :(

I'be been debating a vbac  as well. But yesterday I came to the conclusion I'm just going w a c section. I personally know how. Low the chances.of.rupture are but I didn't realize the rate of fetal mortality or how many of them get derived of oxygen if a rupture happened. I just couldn't live with myself if something happen to my son bc  I wanted a easier normal birth. My feelings are whatever I need to do to have a healthy baby I'll do even if I suffer. But that's my opinion you should do what's right for you and your family
