Doctors and midwives may vary in how supportive they are of your decision, if you feel they're not supportive, ask them why.
Also, make sure you fully understand the reasons for your previous Caesarean. It's important to be well informed. You can always ask for a second opinion from another doctor or midwife.
Having a Caesarean section can be life-saving for both mother and baby, but it's important to recognise when it's necessary and when there's a safe alternative. Ultimately, the decision is yours whether you have one or not.
For more information and support from the NCT, call 0870 444 8707, or visit VBAC supporters at www.vbac.org.uk.
