Megan Pettit shares stories from a new mom
I had a scheduled caesarean section. After attending prenatal classes and reading an entire shelf of childbirth books, I felt emotionally ready for a vaginal birth, but physically my body was not having any of that. On top of that, two ultrasounds revealed that my son was large; either 10 or 11 pounds, and he was not descending.
My OBGYN sat me down and gave me the option of trying to deliver naturally or choosing to have a C-section.
“Honestly, do you think I’ll end up having an emergency C-section?” I asked my doctor. He replied, “He’s not coming out that way,” as he pointed to my nether region.
