I know exactly how you feel Amy! I'm going to be attempting a VBAC this time and am a little nervous about it. Gemma was an emergency c/s after a 23 hour labour in which it was discovered that she was posterior. During the labour though she was not stressed at all and was actually asleep for most of it! I am however scared this time round as my labour did stress me out as it was so long and intense(I was induced) and now that I have spoken to the head of doctors at our hospital I do feel a bit better as he has encouraged 'us' to make the decision we want and said he will not induce me as I asked not to be, even if I go overdue.I was quite surprised by how nice he was about it. Although he said he wouldn't let me labour long which bothers me!He also said I can change my mind right up until the last minute if I like.

I have not intention though of going the elcetive c/s as it is major abdominal surgery and scares the crap out of me!The recovery was harsh and I couldn't even bath Gemma for the first 2 weeks of her life, I didn't get to cuddle her as soon as she was born(I met her about an hour later!) and just doing simple things like lifting her were hard work.

Goodluck with your decision!I know its a tough one!
