I have Crohn's disease and I have a lot going on in my nether region. So I brought it up yesterday at my appointment, that I was getting VERY anxious about a vaginal birth. My Dr completely understood and said that if I thought it was the right thing to do to have a schedule C-section then she would schedule it. My question is anyone have to deal with Crohn's and a c-section? My Dr. feels I could deliver vaginally but also understands that if I go neurotic in delivery it will slow everything down .... I still have 11 weeks til I am due.
Thanks.
