Seriously bummed

(I'm being a PW until my coworkers get in)
I had my pre-op and the RE said I'll probably have to have a scheduled c-section after this because I'll be at higher risk for uterine rupture. I feel like we've made so many consessions already I am upset that there is one more thing that is going to be different from what I always imaged and one more "normal" experience it seems like I'm getting cheated out of.
I had totally planned on trying to find a hospital where I could labor in water, without meds, and I wanted to try the hypnobirthing classes. I know that it isn't something you can really plan for - but I was hoping for the chance.
In reality, I know it's small potatos but I am having a hard time with it. I'm pissed at myself too because if I'd been more willing to use ds 6 or 9 months ago, I may have gotten pregnant before the fibroid developed and it wouldn't have been an issue.
I want something to happen where I get to feel normal and have stuff in common with my friends again. I'm tired of feeling left out.

I know how it feels for your body to let you down and to be cheated out of "normalness". To get what everyone else had so easily. It sucks.

I agree with Mainer - you never could have predicted this. And who knows - the fibroids could have developed while you were pregnant and caused an issue then as well. I know it did for my SIL.
I'm sorry things have been so sucky lately - can you do something just for you?

ditto. Sorry Gidge. you are so overdue for good news
The "good" news is if you have a c-section you'll have lots in common with people.
I so understand your thoughts though. I still struggle with the birth I ended up with after all my planning for med-free delivery. I'm grateful for a healthy baby but it is hard. There are so many emotions wrapped up in IF and then once you get pg. Don't feel bad for that.

Thanks. I'm glad I'm not crazy.
When I talked to DH about it he seemed pretty confused about why I cared. To him this doesn't really rank very high on the list of things that "shouldn't have to be this way" but are.
Sulfa - That was a pretty one sided documentary but I thought it was pretty interesting. I know nothing about the birthing process is guarenteed but I still had hopes that I'd get to try things my way.
