Lorin - it depends on why you had a c/sec in the 1st place.. As long as there is no medical reason why you should not try for a vaginal birth you can try to go for it after a c/s.. There are risks involved and these are discussed at length with your midwifes and OB.. My sil had a VBAC last year and she preferred it to the c/s.. the reason she had a c/s in the 1st place was bubs was beeech so not due to any other reason..

Fruitwood - i am not sure if you can ask for a c/s just because you had a bad experience..There may need to be a medical reason for it.. And each birth is different . I would discuss all options with your OB / Midwife team..

I dont think either is easy !
