Brenda,
Cephalo-pelvic disproportion
(CPD)
This indication has been shown repeatedly to be
inaccurate as a predictor of the possibility of future vaginal births. Up to 77%
of women with a previous caesarean for CPD have a later vaginal birth. One third
of them with larger babies. (ICEA Review). X-rays
are notoriously inaccurate as a means of diagnosing CPD. The movement of a
woman's pelvis during labour and the position of the baby are so significant
that an x-ray prior to, or during, pregnancy cannot reliably indicate the
likelihood of vaginal birth.

I'll put my mind to work
on this one. All I can say is that I hear it all the time from women with
Obs (surprise, surprise) and most women I know have birthed larger
subsequent babies but at home without obstetric *ahem* "wisdom". A friend
was dx with CPD with her 8lber and then pushed out an 11lber at home - no
tear, no graze!
I'll look around.
Something rings a bell...

Hi listers,
A ?
Do you think CPD is overdiagnosed ? If so how often would this
misdiagnosis occur do you think ? Plus how often is it wrong ?
Any idea where I'd find this info ??
Brenda
