To answer your question directly: Yes, you can have a chance of a normal delivery — it is called a VBAC (Vaginal Birth After Cesarean).
Since you had your first delivery normal and second delivery C-section, and there is a gap of 3.5 years between C-section and this pregnancy, you are a good candidate for VBAC, provided certain conditions are favorable.
Important factors that increase your chance of a successful VBAC:
Your previous normal delivery (this is a big positive). Enough time gap (more than 18-24 months is generally safe — you have 3.5 years, which is very good). The reason for previous C-section (baby's weight) is not related to your pelvis size. Current pregnancy is low-risk (no major complications like placenta previa, uterine scar thinning, etc.). Baby's size is not too large now. Good scar thickness on ultrasound (usually measured around 36–37 weeks). Labor starts naturally (not heavily induced).
However, your doctor will monitor:
Uterine scar thickness (to prevent risk of rupture). Baby's growth pattern. Your pelvis and general health as you near your due date.
Summary:
At this stage (21 weeks), you definitely have a chance of a normal delivery, but final decision will be taken around 36–38 weeks based on scan reports and labor progress.
Doctors will encourage VBAC if it looks safe for you and the baby!
