OB giving me a “fighting chance” at vaginal delivery

Laura • boymom to sebastian age 2, remy born aug 2020

i was 9lb 13oz

my husband was 7lb 13oz

neither my mother nor i have GD

today i go in for my appointment (37wks) and the doctor immediately is feeling how big baby is and asking about our birthweights and noting my GD test was normal. she throws in the idea of c-section and im really nervous now.

i wanted to do an unmedicated vaginal delivery. i understand things happen. but i definitely do not want a c-section.

hoping now baby comes earlier than later so he weighs less 😔

but im 0 effaced and cervix is closed
