When you've had a previous c-section and want to go for a VBAC, there's a higher chance of uterine rupture when using medications to induce labor. In my case, since we don't have my records, we don't know what kind of incision I have on the inside. The low transverse scar I have on the outside doesn't always necessarily line up with the cutting they did on the inside. If they cut the inside the same, I'm good to go for a vaginal birth. If they did a vertical or a T incision, then it's a bad idea. It also depends on the amount of sutures they placed. If they only did one internal layer of sutures, it's risky...2 or more and I'm good.

Of course, if WE HAD MY RECORDS (*#^@($&%^ military) we would know what kind of incision and sutures I had.....
