Sorry to hear things aren't quite going to plan! I was talking with one of the senior community midwives about baby positions yesterday and she said it's often not as cut and dry as the doctors make out when it comes to HAVING to have a section - I'm not sure of the implications of a previous section, but she basically said that even a breech birth is OK, but doctors put the fear of god into you just to keep things moving through the hospital.
Do they not think that your baby will change position nearer birth-time? I thought oblique babies tended to change position at the last minute?
Whatever they say today I hope they can at least offer you some good advice and support and don't just try to fob you off. I know how much you want this vbac, and I have everything crossed for you! Good luck!
