There are so many issues considerable when proceeding to cesarean delivery that without seeing the chart notes and the fetal monitor tracings, it would truly be tough to comment. I am not trying to cover for anybody here, its just hard to second guess somebody without all of the info.

Regarding VBAC, I would ask around to friends, co-workers for recommendations of an obstetrician. Go for the name that seems to keep coming up. Make an appointment, with your hospital records copied, and discuss your options with him/her.
