After 2 totally natural births I had my first C/S because my son was diagnosed with a ventricle problem that can be aggrovated with a VB so that was my choice for my first C/S
Having my 4th baby and 2nd C/S in august, this time it is due to not having a great scar and a lot of scar tissue around my C/S site and this pregnancy is really close to the last C/S so not enough healing time for a VBAC
Good Luck, personally I think you should really look into what is performed with a C/S as I think you might find its going to be easier on your condition to have a VB with a lot more freedom...
If you do your homework on VB, instead of focussing too much on elective C-S, you might find that you'll overcome some of the limitations you've placed on yourself with your anxiety condition. Theres another member here who had a VB and has anxiety, and she has come out on top and better than ever with her confidence in, well, everything! Yes, she was initially petrified, but she found the experience to be extremely empowering, and the pregnancy and birth shattered the myths she had about herself. She still has anxiety, but it's not nearly the problem it used to be.
Anyway, find out about the kind of birth you'd like to have, research it, find supporting literature and your reading should allay a lot of the fears that have been associated with VB for the last century
Good luck, whichever you choose.
