Hello Ally,

Can I ask why you had your first cesear? Depending on the reason to why you had a cesear in the first place, VBACs are not dangerous at all, infact they can be very rewarding. The internet tends to hype things up alot and place unwanted worry on to mums. Are you reading that there is a risk of uterine rupture? This is so rare these days. It was more common in days when ceasers were cut vertically rather than horizontally along the pubic line.

Have you thought about the possibility of hiring a Doula for your birth? Doula are wonderful women to have around, especially when you are feeling anxious about your upcoming birth. There are a few Doulas around who have specific experience in VBACs, so maybe you could try having a look for one in Adelaide?

However in the end, you must go with your "mothers" instinct. You need to do what you think is best for you and your baby. You cant let someone else tell you what to do, expecially when it comes to your birth.

If you do have heart troubles, maybe you could talk to an obstetrician and see what he/she recommends?

Anyway I wish you the best of luck. I hope it all works out for the best...
