    My oh's mum had a natural birth, a c/s and then 2 more natural births so yes it is possible although I think they monitor you more closely. Ask your midwife about it xxx

    I think it depends on you, the time scale between births and your consultant. My daughter was breech and c-section, and when I had my son 2 years later I wasnt allowed to try naturally, they said the gap between healing and pregnancy wasnt safe, so I agreed and had a c-section. Im now expecting my 3rd and im definately not allowed to have a natural delivery, im even having it at a different hospital, and they still say its too dangerous.
    I would take the consultants advise, as at the end of the day, its a healthy baby at end of delivery that matters, and a healthy mam too.. I would take the safest options, but thats just my experience.
    There are some hospitals that let you, but you have a very small gap, so I have a feeling they might advise a 2nd c-section for safety.
    Good Luck
