I'm not sure what you want me to say, all I'm saying is that as a follow up to my OP, I got a second opinion and I'm glad I did. I'd already had my first birth by then, despite the hideous pregnancy I'd had. This time round I was armed with MUCH better information and caregivers who helped me achieve my goals. If your goal is to have a safe CS, then take your information with you
My responses aren't specific to any posters here - this kind of thread can be found by anyone, and there may be someone who finds it having been told CS is the only way, or cessation of BFing, or any other unfounded blanket prescriptions.
I'll fill you (general 'you') in on what happened after my OP. I posted a similar thread on the ABA forum and was directed to a clinic recommended by one of the members there. I never looked back. The twisting of my pelvis was awful and it took a while to correct it (it kept wanting to go back, because the surrounding muscles were 'trained' by then to brace in maladaptive bays). I took up yoga again and eventually fell pg again. This time the pain began a lot earlier and I got onto it with a new osteo who was just even more fantastic than the first osteo clinic I went to! She really knew her stuff about women's physiology and pregnancy physiology. So, I still had loosening and pain, but it was managed a lot better and whilst the pain would get to me, I knew that what I had been doing meant it wasn't as bad as it could otherwise be.
It's only just started to arc up again, 4 months post-partum, but I can put that down to some casual regard for my pelvis and getting overconfident, physically.
ANyway, that was the spirit of my responses here. SInce when, on BB, do we suggest taking caregiver's advice at face value??
