HELP! I just need OPINIONS. Personal or from experience.
I'm due April 15th with my first baby. Tuesday my doctor said they are concerned because his head is measuring bigger that he may not fit vaginally, so I have the option of a c section. But I can actually still try to deliver vaginally. I just don't want to try and then have an emergency c section which I feel would cause more problems with pain in both areas for me.
I have until Friday morning to let the doctor know what the decision on how the delivery is going to go. And BD wants me to have a c section just because it'll probably cause less problems, but of course I'm worried about having kids in the future naturally. Also, when BD was born he broke his moms pelvis when his head was coming out, and I'm a small person! Just want to know what anyone thinks

I would do a C section personally. Especially since BD was so big and you're so tiny. It's probably best to have one just to be easy on you and your LO. Good luck!

My daughter was measuring large, and my doctor gave me the option of a C-Section. Well, I finally went into labor (almost 2 weeks late.), and she got wedged in my pelvic bone- she was over 9lbs. They told me worrying about vaginal wasn't an issue, because you will stretch and tear of need be. Well, I was then hurried in to have an emergency C-Section. I would say still try and do it vaginally. The recovery from the C-Section was THE WORST pain I've ever felt. Hands down. I'm 8mo pp and I'm still having pain.

@jennatess, yeah that's the reason I can't really decide. The whole trying vaginally then end up with emergency c section. Had no idea recovery can be that long though 😱 my ay_tay0716 yeah everyone is telling me it's the best option. And thank you both for sharing!

I'd probably opt for the c section. Probably the most safe under the circumstances. I really wanted to give birth all natural without any drugs but due to complications my doctor gave me the option to have a c section or keep trying. After 19 hrs of labor without any drugs I finally gave in and got the c section. And surprisingly the recovery was really not that bad. People were surprised at how fast I recovered. I used an abdominal binder for about a week and a half which was awesome. Without it I probably wouldn't have been able to move very much if I didn't have it. My incision was closed with glue and steri strips so it healed within a couple days. I didn't have deal with stitches or staples. I'd say I took meds for a about week week and a half and was fine.

@jemmoool, well thank you, it looks like we're leaning more towards a c section, and by the sound of it I would just need to make sure I take the right steps on how it will turn out with healing. Like glue instead of stitches or staples. I'll have to ask for that option. And abdominal binder which doctors haven't told me. Sounds like I can do it just with the right process, thank you!
