Oh wow, you really are being given a bum steer. If possible scarring from fibroids (assuming that he means the internal scars from where the fibroids were removed and not the actual lap surgery) rules out a vaginal birth, then the pregnancy itself shouldn't happen kwim? Any issue the scarring may cause will be tested by the pregnancy, not the birth. I would be running away from that ob as fast as you can and don't go back.

I had lap surgery and was pg 6 mths later and never was I told that a c/s HAD to be done.

ETA - we posted at the same time. This will affect any future births you may have too, so it is something that you really need to think long and hard about and if you have your FS questioning it too then that would be enough for me to get a new ob.
