shoulder dystocia

mandateach517

Has anyone had to have a c-section due to higher risk of shoulder dystocia?  Just had my 38-week appt and my OB said that we are at intermediate-high risk of shoulder dystocia and that a c-section is recommended to avoid SD.  I never had a labor plan, but had wanted to deliver vaginally, so I was pretty upset to hear this.  Of course, DH and I will make whatever decision is best for LO (and me), but was wondering if anyone out there had to make a similar decision (up to now, I had never heard of it before).  Thanks!
