I have a left hip fusion and want to know if a c section is my only option for delivery. I have been unable to find any other cases online so was wondering if anyone has or knows someone who has any information that would benafit me in my situation.

Your best bet is to ask your doctor what they want to do. It may hurt your hips and pelvis to give birth vaginally. It's extremely taxing on your body. You may feel better giving birth via c-section.

And you know what?! That doesn't make you less of a woman or mom if you give birth that way. The point is to bring a baby into this world as healthfully as possible! I know you know that and probably really want to give birth vaginally. Maybe your doctor will consent and let you try vaginally and if it is too much for you, then they could switch to c-sec.
