Third Child - first was vaginal, second elected c-section, thinking VBAC for third (TW infant death)

I’m hoping to find some people with this trend in their birthing experiences. My first daughter was born vaginally, but due to negligence during the delivery process she ended up dying from HIE at 16 days old in the NICU. My son was born a year and 15 days later and I chose to get a c-section because I didn’t want to chance anything. Although the c-section went well and it was quick, I ended up having some issues with the healing part. Now I’m due in June and I feel that I’d really like to have a VBAC. My doctor is for it and said I have a high success percentage based on the calculator he used. I just want to know what that was like for anyone else that did have a vaginal birth, then a c-section, then another VBAC. What was the labor and delivery process like for you?
