Hi. I had a total hip replacement one year ago, and i'm due with my second child in about seven weeks.

My ob has never had a delivery with a thr, and my orthopedic surgeon has given me no guidance.

I'm concerned that restrictions on moving the joint will make it hard to deliver and would ultimately lead to a c-section. From what little i've found to read, I know that vaginal delivery is possible, but i'd love to hear from someone who has gone through it, as to what worked and what didn't during labor and delivery.

Thanks!
