Yes it’s perfectly possible but we need to know a few more things, like what type of scar was given, what’s the current weight and liquor of the baby. What was the reason for previous LSCS and a vaginal examination.

In vaginal birth after cesarean section chances of scar rapture are high
So it is better go for an elective Cesarean section anytime after 38 completed weeks

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.
