I ended up with an "elective c-section" after going back and forth the whole pregnancy. There was only 15 months between births. First was emergency ceaser after failed induction. It sucked.
In the end I chose ceaser, more coz I was still waking 2-3 times per night for #1 and had NO energy... I didn't think that I'd make it thru labour, not to mention having to push! Also, I was told that as it was under 18 months, there was a slightly higher risk at the scar rupturing. I didn't want to put myself thru it. They're the reasons I remember anyway!
That all being said, my second ceaser was COMPLETELY different! Same hospital, less than 18 months apart. #2 was with me the whole time after he came out (except when hubby took him so i could finish vomitting.. something that happened both c-sections right after bubs being "evicted"). I was b/feeding in recovery, and he was in my arms while i was transported from recovery to my room. The atmosphere was completely different. maybe coz it wasn't "emergency" and therefore, they didn't have the "rush" attitude... Mind you, i did have issues getting the spinal block in in the first place. 45 mins of repeatedly having needles pushed into your back is not my idea of fun!
All I can say is that no birth is the same, even with ceasers! Just be comfortable with your decision! I don't regret my ceaser, as it was the right thing for me at the time. I couldn't pick up #1 for a few weeks, but she survived.
That being said, I'm also all for vbac, and this time, I'll be attempting a vba2c! (well, assuming I don't talk myself out of it again!) The hospital isn't too encouraging this time around!

Good luck!
