Hello Lindie,
Congratulations on your little bubba. I have had two cesears, the first emergency and the second elective after I chickened out of a VBAC. I did do alot of research though and it says that over 90% of VBACs are successful and very rewarding. My husband and I are thinking about having another baby soonish too and I promised myself that I am going to try for a VBAC!!. It is extremely rare that a baby would die during childbirth and I doubt that it was a direct cause of her trying for a VBAC instead of a cesear. Unfortunately these things do happen, so please dont let it scare you out of trying. Delivering naturally gives a woman a feeling of accomplishment, so I say go for it!!. You will always have the option of having a cesear if you cant handle it.
