I was planning a drug free waterbirth, until I was admitted to hospital last week and became too high risk for birth centre. I am suffering from Diastasis of the Pubic Symphysis and very restricted in my movements, on bed rest most of the time.

There is a slight risk of a VB doing damage to my Symphysis Pubis, but I dont know the figures. If I did do damage I would need a pelvic reconstruction, which takes a long time to recover from. I am really struggling to make a decision as to whether I should ask for a CS. The Ob would prefer not to do a CS unless the risk of damage is higher than the risk of CS, but I don't know if the risk of being unable to care for my kids for months on end is worth taking for the risk of havingthe 6 week recovery time of a CS.

What would you do in my situation? I really am stuck for a deceision, and they want her out as soon as it is safe for her, so in about 7 weeks.
