I completely forgot, to put it in my post before but last night at the early pregnancy physio class I was talking to the lady about my spinabifida (fused L5 and L6, fused hips to sacrum, sacrum fully fused) and the nerve pain I can get and how to manage it. We got onto talking about the birth and things and she mentioned that I needed to tell my Dr. He already knows. but she said that oh if you can't have an epidural (I knew this due to the fused points in my vertebra) and the baby can't fit through the birth canal due to the lack of movement in hips they will just put you under a general to do the c-section.
OMG no I don't want to be asleep when my baby is born. I wanted a natural birth, I can understand if I have to have an emergency c-section but to be put a sleep. I am gutted by this thought. :(
My OBGYN is in the process of discussing with some anesthetists about this and seeing if we can put the epi up higher, but we wont be discussing this until my appointment on the 5th May.
I am really upset by this :( I want answers but I may not get them until I am actually having the baby. :(
