Feeling Mixed Emotions

Meredith

Had my 36 week check up today and was told we needed to schedule a C section for 39 weeks as she is still frank breech (she has been since 23 weeks). Then they told me even if she flips they don’t recommend a vaginal birth because of my pelvic structure. I knew I would deliver at 39 weeks because I am high risk (although the pregnancy has been a blessing and breeze throughout it all) but I was hoping to be induced and was hoping to do it vaginally. I know it’s best for baby and me, but I still feel sad about it. I’m also scared about the C section. Was anyone encouraged not to deliver vaginally because of pelvic structure? I know no matter how she comes in this world we will be so thankful, just wasn’t how I envisioned my first experience giving birth.
