Mine are 20 months apart to the day and I had a very easy and successful vbac my midwife was very encouraging of me wanting to vbac and we did have everything set to go in the case of possible second csection but it was smooth and after 15 min of pushing my baby girl was born
I strongly encourage you to look at mama doctor Jones video on vbac! It's super informative

It should be 18months in between. It’s possible but only a qualified OBGYN can tell you that. I would start with seeing if your current OB is VBAC friendly and experienced. If they are they can tell you based on why you had the cesarean before, your surgery notes and how current pregnancy goes. If they aren’t, then you’ll have to look for a VBAC friendly OBGYN that will be able to tell you. I’ve seen women have successful VBACs even with close pregnancies but it really depends on your case and most importantly having the right provider. A lot of OBs shut women down meanwhile they don’t do VBACs and don’t do the exam needed to determine if you’re a good candidate and they aren’t always transparent about that. So keep that in mind when asking your OB, ask them if they have experience and are VBAC friendly
