Narrow birth canal

My Doctor just told me I've narrow birth canal or small pelvis, which might be a challenge for baby to pass through during labour. However, she said it's still possible to hope for normal delivery, and will opt for emergency C-sect only if there's problem or challenges during labour. Bit stressful to know this as I was really hoping for a normal delivery and everything was good so far. Any Mom here with similar condition who managed to deliver normally? Please share your experience. TIA P.S. 38+ weeks as of today

It also depends on how big your baby is, actually:) hopefully baby will still go through nicely.. there are many petite mummies who are still able to deliver via normal vaginal delivery! But regardless of the method of delivery, the most important thing is that you and baby are safe and healthy okay? Congratulations in advance :)
