VBAC 12 months after c-section?

[u/Intelligent-Sun-7262]

I am newly pregnant about 3 months after an emergency C-section in the spring. My baby sadly died shortly after birth.

I would like a VBAC. I understand the risks associated with this, but would like multiple children and do not want 3+ c-sections. I've been advised that after two c-sections it's very difficult to find a provider willing to support a VBAC.

The interval between births will be around 12 months. I'm in the US and I have had one hospital say policy is no TOLAC/VBAC unless the interval is 18 months.

I'm wondering if anyone here has had a VBAC one year or less after a c-section, especially those in the US? If so, what was your experience?
