Previously Broken Pelvis And Tailbone, Baby Due Next Month Posted: 09-10-05 09:06am
I was in a bad car wreck 6 years ago and
broke my pelvis in 4 places and also broke
my tailbone. Now my baby is due in 5
weeks and my ob won't confirm a c section.
I have spoken my concerns and strongly
feel the need for a c section even though
this is my first child. I am a single
mother and can't take a risk of breaking
those bones again. I can't afford to be
out of work that long again either. Why
won't my ob confirm a c section even
though I have told him that this is what I
want and should I have one?

The thing about a broken bone is, it is
suppose to heal stronger than before it
was broken. I have heard of old pple
breaking an arm repeatedly and never in
the same place twice. You would think it
was weaker, but I dont think that is the
case. You can either go with his
decision or maybe get a second opinion.
I think you would be just fine though.
Just my opinion--i am not a doctor
