Narrow pelvis
Hello everyone,
Today I had a pelvic exam and my doctor informed me that I have a narrow pelvis, also known as an android pelvis, which may make a normal delivery more challenging but it's still possible.I am 38 weeks 1 day pregnant and babys weight is 2.8 kgs. Dr is not sure and said there is only 40 to 60% chance of normal delivery.So in that case please suggest me should I attempt a normal delivery or consider a C-section?
Can a women with android pelvis can't deliver vaginally?

We can't say that normal delivery is not possible but keep in mind that if there is fetal distress or any problem during labour then u need to go for c section....if don't want any risk then directly go for c section
