It is possible: Determining whether you are an appropriate candidate for VBAC includes reviewing your obstetrical history, taking a close look at your labor progression and why a cesarean was indicated for your previous deliveries. While it is now acceptable to VBAC after 2 prior c-sections, your doctor can help determine your percentage of success for VBAC. It is your doctor's desire to keep your delivery safe.

Hi I am currently 31 weeks pregnant and had c section with my 1st baby 13 yrs ago. Now I would love to have VBAC but my gynae had advised me that he hasn't done one in 12 yrs and didn't show any interest. Can I change to a widwife and is it wise?
