Csection to VBAC

My first born was an emergency csection due to preeclampsia and him being Frank Breech. I had him immediately after my 37 week check up appointment where I was not dilated at all. With my second, I am currently 35 weeks pregnant with no signs of preeclampsia or any other complications at this point so my doctor says I’m a great candidate for a VBAC!

I know the baby will arrive whenever they are ready, but I’m concerned I won’t dilated since I wasn’t able to with my last child. I don’t know if that sounds silly or not, but it’s been on my mind lately. Like, since I wasn’t able to safely have my son vaginally- will my body still know what to do going into a VBAC this time? Did anyone have any complications dilating? Or going into labor early? Going into labor later? Please share your stories! Thank you! 🤗
