I am 37 weeks pg and I am now starting to ask myself some questions..

I had an elective c-section with DD at 38+ weeks as my ob said I had a small pelvis and I didn't know any better than to believe him. I am currently booked in for another c-section at 39 weeks for this bub which we are happy about, but after being admitted at 35+5 for early contractions, the midwife (s) and ob on duty gave us something to think about, and having an appointment with my ob's mw tomorrow, just wanted to ask some questions before I see her.

My baby has been engaged since about 28 weeks. The mw when I was admitted last week asked if things progressed did I want to try naturally or go straight for c-sect? This question took both me and DH by suprise. She also said that if it definately wasn't going to fit, it wouldn't be that far down in my pelvis? Is that true? She said that baby has already done a lot of the hard work getting to where he has..

We know that there is no guaratees that it will work if we attempt a VBAC but if there is a good chance that given the current position of bub that it may happen vaginally, we want to give it a go should I go into natural labour before the booked c-sect..

Thanks for any advice you may be able to give..
