Elective c section?

Question

Any FTM's have an elective c section due to babies size?

Answer

Baby's size is just a rough estimate and so many times it is off by quite a bit. I was told my first son would be over 9 lbs if I went a week over my due date. I went 4 days over my due date and he was right at 7.5 lbs and was 19.5" long!

I do believe women should birth however they feel comfortable, but a cesarian is a MAJOR surgery with lots of risks. It's really best to let baby come on their own if you can.

I've known plenty of women to give birth to big babies vaginally and everything be okay. All four of my cousins from one aunt were 9-12lbs!

Answer

Late term ultrasounds are extremely inaccurate in telling baby size. I know one woman from my class that is having a c-section due to baby size, but that is really an outdated reason to get a c-section.
