I’m so sorry to hear how hard this is for you. I just wanted to give you a glimmer of hope. A C-section may be needed, I don’t know, but for some of us, a vaginal birth is easy-peasy because we stretch a bit easier than others. My mom used to say she was a baby making machine! Delivery was (relatively) easy (and quick!) for her. I had no problems with a vaginal birth for my kids and had one bonus from the EDS — NO STRETCH MARKS! Amazing. I hope things improve for you soon. Pregnancy can be tough, I know, but please try to stay focused on the end reward — smiles from your new baby. Gentle hugs…

“Dr. Diana will always hold a very special place in my heart for her selfless devotion to helping everyone, not just the Ehlers-Danlos community. I hate to think what my life would be without her insight and guidance.”
