Is VBAC possible for me?

I would really love to have more children but I am unsure if it is really possible to give birth naturally.

My daughter was born premature at 32 weeks because I had a ruptured placenta.

The Dr. could not tell me why this happened. She was born at a great weight for her age and had no problem breathing or eating but they kept her in the NICU until she was 5 lbs.

I was left with a very long vertical incision on both my uterus and my skin. The Dr. told me that if I should have another baby they would take him from me by c-section at 32 weeks because there is danger of my placenta or uterine wall rupturing.

So, should I even be considering having another child if I don't want a c-section?

My daughter's birth was a living nightmare and I don't want to go through that again.
