In '96' i had some x-rays on my back and the chiro said to me i'll have to have a c-section cause a baby wouldn't pass through naturally. i didn't think of it at the time nor did i ask any questions....i was only 16.
my mum told me she has the same thing and had 4 c-sections and recently my sister had a emergency c-section and they found the shape of her pelvis to not allow a baby through after 13 hrs of labor.
anyway my dilemma is i went to see my ob at a public hospital a few weeks ago and he basically said to me you can't tell from a x-ray whether you need a c-section or not. i told him how my mum saw a specialist ob, 28yrs ago and he told her, but my ob didn't want a bar of it.
i thought he was really rude and when i told him i'd bring in the x-rays he said to me he didn't want to see them, only the findings. but i've read the findings from the chiro and it doesn't have anything on it about that.
he said a chiro isn't a gynae/ob and i shouldn't pay any attention to it, but to me it's a little more than coincidence.
he said based only on my family history would he write down i may need a c-section, and i have a big decision to make.
i want to start thinking of delivery and i'm worried about it all. i rang the chiro and my timing is right off he's out of the country for 12 months....
do you think i should go and show the xrays to another chiro and get their opinion or just push for a ceasar and hope it's the right decision.
i personally think some dr's just don't want to be told what to do....
sorry about the long rant, i'm just confused.
