Anyone else been told they have a low pelvic arch?

[ddubray]

I am 36 weeks pregnant. While being checked for dilation at my last appointment the doctor told me I have a low pelvic arch and I may not be able to push baby through. Anyone else been told this? Anyone else have a low pelvic arch and still have the ability to have a vaginal birth?

With my first child I was in full labour pushed till the head came out and it got stuck due to my pelvic being to small, so I had a emergency c-section. Had plans one with my 2nd but when early last, and my babies weren't that big first was 7,7 and second was 16,10 now 20 weeks pregnant with my 3rd and will have to have a section as well.  So if I was u I'd try the normal labour no one knows what way ur labour with progress and u might be able to push the baby out. Best of luck

Oh okay, Im glad you actually mentioned this because i will now mention it to my doctor lol but I hope you have a healthy & safe delivery!!

You too!!

[Bree97]

So you have been told that you have to have a C-Section?

I haven't been told that yet. It was more of the doctor just telling me you might not be able to push a head through there. I was curious to see if anyone else was told this but was still able to have a vaginal birth.

I asked about the soreness to see maybe if i had a low lying pelvic arch as well. Im 32 weeks & it kind of feels like a heaviness but also its sore there from me carrying her & i hurts if im in the middle of sitting up from sleeping at night it gets really sore. Do you know if your baby has he/she head down yet?

It hurts when I sit up in the middle of the night too! Yes she is head down. I feel sore if I move in certain ways or change positions sometimes but I always thought that was from muscles and ligaments being stretched.

Do you feel a soreness in your pelvic area from this ? Or do you feel normal around your prelvic area?

[ddubray]

No soreness just more of heaviness. I think the heaviness might be from the baby getting lower?
