39w 0d - "Big" Babies or "Small" Pelvises

As we near the impending "guess" date, and baby continues to grow (about an ounce per day), I find this video very inspiring. It pretty strongly knocks the "CPD" (cephalo-pelvic disproportion) diagnosis in my eyes. Two women close to me had cesareans due to this very reason, so continued research and education in this area holds a particularly special place for me. Our pelvises are made to stretch, and babies' heads made to mold.

Some abbreviations you may need prior to viewing:
HBAC = home birth after cesarean
VBAC = vaginal birth after cesarean
UBAC = unassisted birth after cesarean

I hope you enjoy.
