When I was pregnant with JJ my baby belly was never round - like the letter D. My belly was in the shape of a B. Bandl's ring is a ring around the uterus that prevent the uterus from contracting during labor. I did not find this out until JJ was in distress and my temp/heartbeat kept rising. The operating doctor (NOT MY OB) told me about this condition.
Now that we know what is up with my uterus, this current pregnancy will be a scheduled c-section.
When I tell people this, they automatically assume I chose to have a c-section and that really irks me. If I could have a natural birth I would, but I can't. This is not by choice. But for the safety of my baby I will do whatever it takes.
