Hi all
I was reading an old Miriam Stoppard childbirth book (from 1993!)and it details a fairly simply looking test the midwife can do in late pg to work out whether the baby will fit through the pelvis or not.
Other books I've read seem to suggest that in 'olden days' doctors focused quite a lot on the pelvis, measuring it, etc.
So is there a reason why it seems to be 'ignored' these days? I ask because my obstructed labour and c-section seem in all evidence to have been due to my small/?deformed pelvis (rather than DD being disproportionately big, presenting wrong etc) but when I mentioned it to the consultant when preparing for birth no 2, she didn't seem that interested and it certainly didn't come up the first time around either.
Any thoughts? :)
