C section or natural birth?!??

Question

Hi guys, I've been told I'm having an above average size baby! They have advised me that I can have a c section if I wish too! They have given me my options to both but I really don't know what to do?! Anyone got any advise please?!

Answer

The measurements they take Arnt always accurate I know quite a few mums that where told there bubs where going to be big and only came out at 7 pound. I'd go for a natural birth personally but it's your choice 😊

Answer

Take from me...I'll have my 4th cesarean in July. If they are giving you a choice, have a vaginal birth!

Answer

Biggest baby delivered vaginally was like 17 pounds. That is not a preferred situation, obviously, but it is a reminder that even "big" babies aren't that big, and will fit.

Answer

I chose to have a csection and so glad i did. Went great and recovery was easy.

Answer

I would always opt for natural birth over major surgery unless medically required. If my friend can birth a 12lb baby at home with no pain managemt then an 'above average' baby will be fine :) 
After a csection you cannot drive for up to 6 weeks, have a painful incision, and longer recovery.

Answer

I knew someone who pushed out a 10lb baby so it is possible 😝

Answer

I got induced at 39 weeks, partly because at 37 weeks I was told she measured over 8 lbs. my other babies were average size so I totally freaked out, plus I was wanting to do it without pain meds. So I was induced and had her natural, they handed her to me and she was so small lol. She was 7 lbs 8 oz, which is a good size but so much smaller than I expected!!!
