Dear Barb Your friend should find a good gynaecologist and ask for a professional assessment of her pelvic capacity. MRI scans can be done during pregnancy and will provide anatomical evidence of all the conjugates as well as the transverse and oblique diameters of the bony pelvic as well as reveal soft tissue anomolies. If your friend finds her pelvis is actually adequate she should consider finding a midwife who is willing to do VBACS and who has good obstetric backup (not the original obstetrician) She might also consider suing her original obstetrician for subjecting her to unnecessary surgical trauma.
