Not saying this is the case with you min, but CPD is grossly overdiagnosed and has been for years (not just me saying this but midwives too). Many women told that their babies are too big or pelvis too small have then gone on to birth at home, big babies with no problems. Usually it takes an injury to the pelvis for this or something hereditary, but then again I know of women being told their mother's pelvises were too small and they were fine. It was a problem in our mother's day too.
Often with sholder dystocia doctors will tell you the same story, but this is not often the problem, SD is more a position problem and handled correctly its rarely a problem.
Many, many births are possible if you can have an active, upright labour, optimising your pelvis for baby to be born. Check out the Pink Kit.
