You need to express all of these things to
your doc so that he/she can be aware of
this during your delivery.
As far as the chipped pelvic bone I have
no idea how that would effect your
delivery but the epidural may not be a
problem depending on where your injury is
located. Or at least that is what they
told my sister. She was in a car wreck
and injured her back and it didnt' affect
her receiving the epidural.
Just make your doc clear to your concerns.

I know if you have a c-section that they
can do a local at the sight of the
c-section. There aren't many cons to a
c-section other than the recovery period
is longer than that of a vag delivery.
Any complications with the healing process
may cause problems. However I didnt'
have any complications with my first
c-section and I am not sure which way I am
going to go with this one.

My sister in law is due in a few weeks,
she had osteomalitis(bone infection) in
her hip and had to have her bone fused to
her hip(like glued on) she also has back
problems.
She was going to get a c-section(she cant
get an epidural) and so they would have
done local anethesia (putting you to
sleep) and injecting a local freezing at
the site of incision. She is thinking
about having it vag now depending on the
size of the baby and the labor pain.....
The dr informed her though that she is not
to eat 8-12 hours before labor in case of
emergency section which may arise buit
besides that she was told there are other
pain reliever she can have..
Reserach as much as you can weigh out the
pros and the cons you may not be able to
have an epi so make a back up plan for
pain relief..
