I have had both of my sons, through c-sections, and this was because my pelvic area was too narrow.
I was in labor with my first son, for 16 hours, and after the 10th hour of harsh contractions, the doctors knew I would need a c-section, but allowed me to continue for another 6 hours, 'just in case'. My husband was there, with me, and was all ready to go into the O.R with me, and at the last minute, the doctors had decided to do an emergency c-section, knowing that 6 hours prior, I would most likely get one. I felt terrible, as did my husband, who desperatly wanted to be there, too. After my son was born, I cried, for a long time, like I was grieving that I didn't have him, naturally.
My second son was born, and I had to have another c-section, and this time, they planned the surgery. My husband was going to be there, again, and at the last minute, after my husband got ready, the doctors decided to have an emergency c-section. I almost died. I'm still feeling that grief, though...
