You had c section 4 years ago, and few other details like, why was the v section done?, emergency or planned? At 9 months section was done or preterm section? Kind of incision done over the uterus?, any intraoperative complications happened? So many other things are needed to be known to a gynecologist to decide on ur next mode of delivery

risk and benefit should always be weighed and then decided, so always weigh it and take a decision after discussing with your doctor

Trying for a normal delivery after a C-section is a decision made after a lot of deliberation that your doctor takes after reviewing your case .. including your present condition as well past history .
It is a process associated with substantial risks , sometimes even with life- threatening complications for you and your baby .
Thus several factors have to be taken into careful consideration including the hospital's capacity to deal with any of these dangerous emergency compliance, availability of blood bank ,etc .
Even in ideal conditions, even a case that seems suitable for normal delivery can suddenly run into complications or situation can deteriorate rapidly which may end up in an emergency C-section in the least, or even a life- saving hysterectomy in dire situation .
So please trust your doctor and go for a C-section if they have recommended that for you
Remember the risk is never just on your doctor , but on you and your baby as well , so choose wisely.
