Shoulder dystocia??

Sarah

Hi mommas! Wondering if any second time mommies have gone through this before. I have a son who is four, and I went 41 +6 with him, he was 8lbs 10oz, and had shoulder dystocia when he was born so they had to use a vacuum to get him out.

I’m pregnant with my second, this time I have GD. Currently 31 weeks. My doc tells my because of the gd and having the shoulder dystocia before I’m extremely likely to have it again, so it might be safer to do a c section. However she wants to closely monitor growth so at 34 weeks I will have my regular appt with an ultrasound to check weight and if weight stays normal we could do a vaginal delivery a little early. If weight gets closer to where my son was, it’s a no go and we have to have a c section.

Anyone else ever been in a similar situation? What ended up happening? Curious how this might play out and when I’ll actually have baby
