I am still some way off giving birth, but have a million things running through my mind!

DS1 was a vaginal birth, then DS2 was a c-sect, due to being an unstable lie for so long in my pregnancy, I ended up having a mild case of placenta previa which wasn't detected until the operation.

At my Morph scan my placenta was 5cms clear of my cervix which was great to hear... I thought they checked the scar integrity at this scan too, but the technician said it was very difficult to detect such a thing. How do I know if my scar will uphold a VBAC?
What kind of questions should I be asking if I want to have a VBAC? The midwives after I had DS2 said a VBAC wouldn't be an issue, and my Dr this time said it depending on my placenta and scar, but if those were fine, there wouldn't be an issue.

I am still undecided whether or not to go C-section or VBAC but want to be armed with info so that I can make the best decision for my circumstances at the time.
