Fibroid in the way for natural delivery AND caesar!

[~clover~]

Just some more hugs.
There is still the occasional woman with a vertical c/s. (Can't think of the name of it.)
I really hope everything goes well for you.

That's usually called a "classical" incision - they do usually mean that any future babe will need to be born by casear as there is a higher risk of uterine rupture with a vbac than a lower transverse incision (the one they commonly use now).

Before going down that path, you could think about getting a second opinion. If it's the only way then...nothing lost. But if it's not, it's worth finding out.

All the best.

A lady that comes to my playgroup has had 6 kids & I think 2 where clasic csections.

But what I was going to ask.. Is there any reason why they couldn't just do the incision slightly higher so it was above the fibroid? Surely they don't get out a ruler & make sure every c section in performed in the exact same spot?

Oh, how stressful for you. I don't have any experience, but just wanted to second Tobily's suggestion of getting a second opinion... Let us know how you get on.
