It is very common to be diagnosed with CPD and the result is malpositioning of the baby, especially posterior babies. Your Ob is right in what he said, but just could have used better people skills. I too get very frustrated with the whole thing, but I bite my tongue and often have to bite my fingers when typing in here too! I just wish I could give everyone the knowledge and insight I have, but the fact is, it's harder to take when someone else is telling you (sounds like a lecture) and it only works when women find it out for themselves. So I don't lecture. Get a bit passionate sometimes, yes, but there is really some bad stuff going on.
Have a read: here.
Have confidence in your body, some labour is better than none, it gets oxytocin flowing and as Michel Odent says, take advantage of the peak levels of oxytocin you will ever have, the hormone of love and bonding. Yes you will love your baby regardless, but you will never have the opportunity to get such a high level of oxytocin going in your body. It prepares the baby for birth, even if you do have an emergency caesar, but you definitely deserve the benefit of doubt. I bet your Ob also feels upset as he feels that he was taking care of you (and well it seems!) then some doctor had to come along and scare the crap out of you and insist you need a caesar. I would be ****ed too! Stick with your Ob, he sounds like he wants to give you a fair chance, but still let him know you didn't appreciate the way he spoke to you.
You may be close to birthing anyway, try and rest and check out our articles on early labour suggestions and natural induction methods.
