Im feeling really down about not being able to birth naturally. My - TopicsExpress

Im feeling really down about not being able to birth naturally. My son was born by c-section and Im 14wks with baby #2 and looks like Im headed down the same rd with this one. I tried to go to a birthing center but the only 2 in my area dont do v-bacs. The reason I had a c-section with my son was cause he didnt descend into the birth canal. I labored for 16hrs and pushed for 2hrs and he never moved down. My dr said my hips didnt soften and my water had been broken for 13hrs and he was afraid of infection setting in. Im glad my son was ok but I feel like a failure for not being able to birth naturally. I always thought every womans body was made for childbirth but mine doesnt seem to wanna work that way. I just want some encouraging words or anyone whose experienced this how did u deal?-Anonymous
