Need Help

Hi all, this is my 3rd pregnancy. My first i was induced and had forceps delivery because daughter was back to back. I ended up with a 3rd degree tear.

My second pregnancy I had GTT which resulted my baby in the high end. Due to this my doctor recommened C Section because baby was big. She was 8.6 pounds. The recovery was harder.

Now this pregnancy I want to go VBAC. But my doctor is forcing me to have another c Section. Saying I can tear again and lose muscle control down. Also my c section scar can open. I had c sectiom 3 years ago.

My question is did anyone have successful VBAC? I really want normal delivery. Do you think my doctor is right? Im going to be 12 weeks tomorow.
