Big baby labor and delivery tips/ stories?

Question

FTM at 38+2 and I found out yesterday at a growth scan that my baby weighs 10 pounds 14 ounces! There's a pretty big margin of error, but it's probably safe to say she's going to come out weighing 9-10 pounds. I'm scheduled for an induction on Tuesday and want to try to deliver vaginally, although they gave me the option of scheduling a c-section if I prefer. Anyone have any stories or tips of delivering big babies? I'm nervous!

Answer

My baby was 9 pounds. I had to have an episiotomy and forceps, it went fine no complications I healed very well and very quickly. 
I was relieved not to have a section as the thought of surgery really terrifies me. I'm sure the doctors will do everything possible to deliver baby vaginally if that's what you want and it's safe to do so

Answer

They told me my last baby would be 8 lbs he was 9, and he did get stuck. I had forcepts which cause a bruise on his face by his eye and I ended up getting a pretty nasty infection. But he was perfect. If I had the option this time knowing my baby would be big I'd probably opt for the c-section. Just because it was scary when he was stuck. His heart rate kept dropping down. Good luck and I hope you have a smooth delivery.

Answer

Mine was measuring at 8lbs and he came out 6.10

Answer

With my last baby, they told me she'd be 9-10lbs and she was only 8lbs 7.7oz lol
