Any moms ever had a VBAC?

VBAC is a vaginal birth after C-section. It’s controversial because there are risks involved. The major concern seems to be that the scar from the c-section can rupture in a subsequent vaginal birth.

My husband and I are ready to have a second baby. Our first was delivered via c-section and it was a painful and stressful start to motherhood. I want nothing more than to have a vaginal birth with the new baby.

I’d like to know if anyone has gone through (or knows someone who has) a VBAC, and if you could give me some pros and cons and comparisons between the two births, I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks!
