I just wanna have a normal birth!!😩😩😩😩

Kathleen

Hey guys so I’m kinda terrified! I’m pregnant with my second baby and I’m about 32 weeks with a girl! I’m beyond excited to have another baby but I’m so scared they are going to tell me i have to have another c section! With my first pregnancy everything was fine! I did have gestational diabetes but other then that everything was normal! They induced me and I was pushing just fine! I pushed for about an hour and they told me there was a “lip” in the way and they don’t know what it is! Well I kept pushing and by the 4th hour my son was still nowhere close to even crowning! So they delivered him via c section! They had said my birth canal was “too narrow” and that his head was hitting my bone but they kept changing the story to something different so to me they weren’t really sure what was the reason! I was never told from Pap test that I was small down there or would have trouble giving birth so I’m so confused as to why I had trouble! And my son was only 6 pounds and 14 ounces! 🤷🏽‍♀️🙁 my husband even asked the doctors why I couldn’t have him normal and they still weren’t sure! So I guess my question is has anyone else had this happen to them!? And we’re you able to have a natural birth after the c section!? ...and for those wondering why does it matter you might not have a choice...here’s the thing...when I had that c section it changed me! I couldn’t do anything and the pain I had was unbearable! It got infected I have to go have it drained and I feel it caused me to go into depression! Overall I wanted to end my life! I already spoke to my OB and she said if I wanted to push I can and they will support me but she showed me this calculation thing and it said my chances of giving birth natural are 16 to 22% and that made me feel horrible!😩😢 ...if anyone has any stories they would like to share I am willing to listen!!! Please pass a little hope this way!
