c-section questions

[Zombonnie]

Since I was age 12 I've been told by doctors that it would be nearly impossible for me to get pregnant for a few reasons one being I have had many ovarian cysts since that age. they chalked it up to be because of my woman parts being extremely small so small at my first pap at age 13 they doc couldn't get me open enough to get a q-tip inside to take tests... I couldn't use a tampon till I was 18 and first time sex was miserable my mom said I was always small down there and when she asked the doc about it when I was a baby he said for her to try and "stretch me out" of course she never did as it made her uncomfortable well here I am going 11to weeks strong with a healthy baby :-) I also faintly remember them saying something about a c-section birth would be my only option if the miracle did happen I'm 27 now so this memory could be distorted... so my question is... has anyone heard of something like this? And since my ob now has done a pap and didn't notice anything strange or say anything does it mean I'm ok now and can do a vaginal birth?

i had a same peroblem as u have. i can not even use tampon and sex is just painfull. they told me if i have a baby will help me to streach out down there , i got pregnant and just gave a birth to my kid 3 weeks ago . first of all i got induce , and i was in labor for 26 hours . however i could not have him natrually they end it up to give  a c- section ,my baby was a large baby, almost 9 bl . dont worry about c-section , it is not that bad at all, i wish i had a c-section befor been in labor for 26 hours . the cut is really down there that i can not even see it . be strong u can do it u have more power then u think :)

Try to have your baby normal and from there if you cant well theres always the option to have him c-section. Do whats best for your baby and you. I didnt have my period since 15 and im small from down there too but i havent had problems like you I had a c-section with my first it was optional and im 28wks having another one. Do whats best.

I think you should be fine. I think your best bet is to try all natural labor no drugs....most woman don't know thhat when the birth squatting or standing that there pelvic areaa opens up 20% more than if you were on your back. Your hips will spreadd while pregnant and will spread again in labor. I actually know a couple girls who were told there pelvic region was to small to birth a baby and doc advised cssection and they have had there csection and then gone on to have a bigger babies all natural no drugss. I did a lot of squatting during my second pregnancy and sitting on a workout ball roling to help my hips open my first baby was csection. So when i got pregnant the second time i was not having another csection i read sso much about pregnancy took a natural birthing class did everything I could possssibly do tons of walking. When I went into labor with my second I had her all natural no drugs and I labored on my knees and thats the way I hadd her. My body was most comfortable that way I did what my body wanted haha when you hve all natural labors our body seriously takes over and you do what it says haha. Good luck hun all I can say is do your reseaarch and readd read read haha it will help prepare read about the drugs they ggive you for inducing and epidurals so you know what to expect and make sure you read pros and cons about it. Everyone reacts to drugs diffferently :-) wish you all the best.

She says its because it was extra extra small and was a concerned question she asked the doc and she agreed I did grow up to have problems with it since I wasn't releasing fluid properly which in turn caused the cysts because of the fluid build up I didn't even have a period till I was almost 16 but thank u for the hopeful thoughts I hope that everything really is ok :-)

Here is my thought: ur vaginal area streches really far when ur in labor. The only thing that would prevent a natural birth is if the inside pelvic bones aren't wide enough. It doesn't matter how small or big ur hips are. But when they do an internal exam the dr measures with her fingers as to how much space u have. My dr. also told me I would never fer pregnant hmmm, sorry dr u were wrong I have been pregnant 7 times & carried 4 babies to term & has them all natural with no pain drugs:)

I'm kind of confused as to why your mother or doctor would be concerned about your vagina before you even needed a pap.....or why he would advise her to "stretch you out" as an infant.... There's a reason it's so small in youth, you aren't supposed to be using it.
Anyways if your ob hasn't brought up a c-section yet then I wouldn't worry about it.  Your vagina is meant to stretch to accommodate your baby (true some tear lol).  So I would just relax :-)
