? about odds for vbac for baby #2 after csection for cpd the first time around.

I was induced at 41 weeks for my first son. I dilated to 10 and pushed for 2 hours but it was determined that he was too large to deliver vaginally. I did not have an epidural and pushed in many different positions to try to get him out. Althought they could see his head, it didn't crown. He was delivered via csection after 17 hours of labor and weighed 9 lbs 9 oz. When he was born he had dents in both ears and a bruise on the bridge of his nose. His head did not mold at all.

I am currently 29 weeks pregnant and am measuring a bit large for my date at this point. I have tentatively scheduled a section for 39 weeks. I have read a lot of the literature that is out there and it seems the odds are about 60% for a vbac. I just wanted to see if anyone had anything to add.

I don't really have a problem with a trial of labor however my MD's in my practice don't think the odds are good that I would be able to deliver vaginally. They are more than willing to let me try if I want to.

I would love opinions on this.

Thanks again.
