My daughter is now 13 months old, and we are maybe thinking about starting to try again for another baby but the last time i had to have an emergency c-sec and was put right out and the whole bit but i was wonder what some thoughts were, or if anyone has had any experience about trying to go v-bac or do i just schedule another c-sec?

you should talk to your doctor about what he thinks about this. Its highly encouraged in my books to try a VBAC. However, if its been less than 2 years between your births, your doctor may recommend a repeat c/s. You will also have to go into labour by your self as they cannot administer induction drugs to you. The induction drugs may increase your risk for uterine rupture b/c of the strength of contractions they produce.
many women have great births after c/s. Since you are on facebook, try searching through the general groups. You will also find midwife sites and also sites that show videos of births after c/s. Personally, i did not find that I healed well after my emergency c/s. I was healed months after my friends who tore a lot during their vag births. I still have little feeling over my lower abdomen and i don't want to have another c/s only to find that feeling never comes back. I will go for a VBAC as well one day! I also highly recommend reading the book "Ina May's guide to childbirth" google her book. if you can before going into labour, as she has so many great tips for labour that made it go so well for me. ( I dilated to 10 cm and then had a breech baby after my water was broken and meconium came out and so went for an emergency c/s).
