What is CPD?

by melissa v. on August 20, 2012

Have you heard of CPD, or Cephalopelvic Disproportion? In layman’s terms, it means “Your baby doesn’t fit through your pelvis.” A.k.a. “You need a cesarean.”

What is CPD? Is it real? What causes it? Does it doom a woman to repeat cesareans for life? Mama Birth explores the whole concept of CPD (and a little bit on the concept of epidurals, too) in a really great post called Obstetric lie #84, CPD (or, your baby doesn’t fit).
