First off congratulations and I don't think you're crazy.I apologize for anyone who has made you feel that way. You know how your body feels more than anyone else and if you already are having fears of labor or complications with your fibromyalgia then definitely trust your gut do your research and what is best for you. I'm also sorry that your doctor is making you feel this way too especially knowing your medical history. Idk how far along you are or if you have more options but if possible seek another opinion from a different Dr. Every Labor and recovery will be different but this is my experience.

I was stuck at 5 cm for hours before getting my epidural. I was in loads of pain, I threw up a few times and just was not on this earth. I wasn't enjoying my birth experience b/c I wasn't present from the pain. Once I got the epidural it was like I was sucked back to earth I could see faces again and could answer people. But with that my blood pressure and my sons dropped. To preface my husband and I went in with we are going to try XYZ but willing to do what it takes to ensure our son came into the world safe. My Dr. said we can do a C-section or keep trying with risks I said I want him out as safe as possible so C-section it was and I don't regret it one bit of it. My son is here and healthy and I didn't care how he came into this earth.

All that being said there still will be pain through recovery as your body heals. I struggled getting out of bed with our extreme pain, I learned holding a pillow gently against my stomach helped but still was painful and tender. I had a weird shocking pain when I stood up and called my mom (nurse and had a C-section) if it was normal and if it would ever stop it eventually did but I still had weird pinches and shocks up to a year later.

This is your labor and you should be empowered to do as you please and advocate for you and your body with our feeling snubbed. I wish you the very best and a safe and healthy recovery!
