Too small to birth naturally?

Perhaps though she has embellished what was said because she felt she had to to justify the reasons why she elected to have a c/sect IYKWIM

Thats what I am thinking...plus this is second hand talk too...my brothers GF is friends with her and told me!

I am just sad that she might have been bullied or scared into it! Make sme want to be a doula/birth educator even more

It sounds a bit like Chinese whispers and yep, she may have embellished.

For instance, for this one I may CHOOSE to have a caesarean because I'm scared of the damage that a vaginal birth could do to my pelvic instability (took me 18 months to recover last time). Now, if I say this to my mum, before you know it she will have turned it into, "the doctors told Fiona she had to have a caesarean otherwise she'll be in a wheelchair for the rest of her life." That's what happens with secondhand stories.
