repeat C-Section?

I ended up with an emergency c-section for my first pregnancy, I had failure to progress and my baby was stuck on my pelvic bone, causing his head to swell. Now I am pregnant again and have to make a decision if I should attempt a VBAC or opt for a c-section. Anyone have any advice that could steer me in either direction. I'm not opposed to trying a VBAC but very nervous the same scenario would happen again. Note : my first was almost 8 lbs, I am under 5' tall.
