Has anyone given birth with vaginismus?

Question

I’m only 8 weeks but have started to get worried about how I’m going to deliver. My doctor doesn’t really understand vaginismus and doesn’t want me to have a c-section. I’m more worried about how I’m going to have the continuous examinations since I couldn’t have a Pap smear using a child’s speculum.

Answer

I thought this, (I’ve never had a baby) but your body naturally accommodates for the baby coming out it’s nothing like something going in when you don’t want it to. Your body will push it out either way I think it’ll be a completely different situation to what usually affects you

Answer

It’s every woman’s right to have the birth they want and it is a valid medical condition and a valid reason for a c section. I thought I had got over vaginismus, and, I felt confident about the birth. Unfortunately they couldn’t complete the dilation check which would have been ok (as they are actually not medically required) but I needed an induction where it is quite intrusive internally. I opted for a csection in the end which was the best and safest way for me and my baby. If I get pregnant again I will book one in from the start!

Hi, did you continue using the dilators while you were pregnant. I am in the same situation and gyn asked me to continue with the dilators.
