Well, bad news and good news.
My original fears of being a high risk for C-section due to a hip injury have come true. Baby will be born via C-section tomorrow at 6pm. He simply cannot engage due to the narrowness of my hips/scar tissue wrapped around my hip bone preventing my hips from spreading.
My cervix has dilated to 5-6cms in the past 4 days, but babys shoulders cannot get through my pelvis. My body and the baby has tried everything in our power to do this naturally, but it's not working. Baby has switched positions in attempt to engage and with no progression.
My mother who is as natural based birth minded as they come, and is entirely against modern medical interventions called me this morning almost in tears with her intuition this baby was stuck, and I was too afraid to admit to myself.. but now after speaking to the dr, We see this is the only way.. Baby has been trying to come out for almost 5 days, and couldn't... =(
I am terrified of surgery, but have known this was a very real possibility since around 4mo....
Please wish me luck... This is the exact opposite of what I had intended, but I know it's not my fault... I have tried my hardest..I have been having what I thought were just insufficient BH contractions, but as it turns out they were REAL labor contractions that weren't spreading much further than my bellybutton due to him being unable to be pushed through...
Thank you in advance for your prayers and well wishes....
I will update asap...
