Oh Dannielle....

I am so sad to hear you say that. I wanted to ask you why you were having your third c/s, but I don't want to question your decisions because I believe in supporting womens choices. Having said that I wonder if you knew that the diagnosis of PCD, or pelvic cephalic disproportion (or head to big for birth canal) is the best indicator that there is that you could actually have a successful VBAC if you were encouraged to try? It is what is told to many many many women and it is a lie... I am not sure if that was what was told to you or what your circumstances are. Have you ever spoken to midwife about what happened during your last labour? Has anyone ever been thru your notes with you? I noticed that you live in Brisbane and so if you were my best friend I would suggest that you go an meet the women at Birthtalk. They run birth education out of Toowong, but what I believe that they do even better is they run birth debriefing for women. So women come to them after 20 years still hurting, some come after birth. Some come to try to process what is happening for them as they approach their next birth. here is their link Birthtalk.org

I can't tell you that you can have a VBA2C, but if there is any doubt in your mind have a look at the ICAN websites.. This is a great article about CDP Cephalopelvic Disproportion (CPD) | International Cesarean Awareness Network It talks about how rare it is for a womans pelvis to be unable to give birth thru and generally the reason for absolute CDP are thru a pelvic injury like a fracture or if you had severe malnutrition as a child like rickets... Both of which is extremely rare. Anyway that is just a small amount of info. I am a birth advocate on the sunshine coast. If you would like support to have a great c/s or if you would like to talk about your previous labours and discuss what you have been told about your pelvis I am here for you.

I hate to think of your sadness or that you feel that your body is letting you down. Your body is beautiful and perfect as it is. You obviously grow beautiful boys and sometimes the problem isn't a womans body but the support she receives. Whatever your circumstances I hope that you can have a wonderful empowering birth this time
