Low pelvic bone...anyone else??

Hi Mommas!! So at today's check up I was told I have a low pelvic bone and my DD may have trouble passing through. I was hoping for an all natural birth and now it seems I may need to have a C section. Any other moms have experience with a low pelvic bone??

....was this confirmed through any kind of imaging? Were you referred to an orthopedist? I know there's a pelvic bone malformation condition (that's very rare) that can prevent a vaginal delivery, but again, that's very rare. The ligaments in the pelvis shift and stretch to accommodate baby as it comes thought the birth canal (as do the bones in LO's skull) so I wonder how your OB is able to determine with any certainty that a delivery would not be possible?

Here's a good article I suggest you read about cephalopelvic disproportion (CPD). I would examine your options carefully and maybe get a second opinion before jumping straight to surgery. https://www.bellybelly.com.au/birth/small-pelvis-big-baby-cpd#.U5hqJXi9LCQ
