Any ladies been told that they have this pelvic shape and go on to deliver vaginally? Or should I resign to having a C-Section? (I really DO NOT want one if it's not absolutely necessary!)

Q: Platypelloid Pelvis?
I'm 12 weeks 4 days today and at my checkup, the OB did a pelvic and told me I have what's called a Platypelloid Pelvis-one that instead of being rounded it is more "flat" than it should be. He said that this puts me a much greater risk of needing a C-Section. I didn't know much about it, and after researching it online I am not reassured much. Evidently less than 3% of women have this type of pelvic shape, and most websites say that almost none of them can deliver vaginally. Some midwives swear that it is possible, but ALL the sites I've seen say that it makes for a VERY long and difficult labor.Any ladies been told that they have this pelvic shape and go on to deliver vaginally?
