So I’m 35 weeks pregnant and I have been suffering from the worst back pain. When I say the worst… at times I feel paralysed by pain and unable to move. Was told by the doctor it was sciatica… thought nothing more of it was thrown pain medication and looked up good exercises for it. Nothing helped so my partner made me a chiropractor appointment as he could bare to see me in the pain I was in. She did an assessment and told me I have a very unstable pelvis and that it’s not the best shape to be in to have a vaginal birth SO… now I’m worried and although I’ll see her 2 times a week for treatment I’m worried about my pelvis. Do I opt for an elective C section? Or is that ridiculous.

This injury stems from a high speed car accident I was in back I. 2019 she also said my right hip and the vertebrae I fractured are not in the correct spot.

Should I ask my midwife to put me forward for a C section?

UK mum btw.
