C-section vs vaginal

I'm hearing all the horror stories of going into labor from, being in so much pain... From pooping on yourself... and can't forgot the period that comes after! Maybe I should just have a scedualed c-section! It would be so much easier... But I am trying for a VBAC.. I am just a little scared.. I know I can do it.. On a good note, dr said I can start primrose oil... At 36 weeks.. I would like to do it at 35weeks, but seeing that my baby shower is still at the end of the month.. I don't want to take any chances! Lol
