I scheduled my csection for this Friday because they claimed my baby was 8lbs. (I had gd). I went into labor last Friday. The dr was still trying to convince me that I should try vag birth. I explained my fears. I had my csection and delivered a 9 lb 8 oz girl. They said if I made it to my scheduled csection she could have been 10-12 pounds.
Re: Big baby
If mom really wants a cesarean, give mom a cesarean. Birth trauma comes in all shapes and sizes and it starts with care providers who don't listen to mom.
I think it makes sense that your OB encouraged you to consider a vaginally delivery given the increased risks that come with cesarean birth, but that he/she performed a cesarean when you insisted.
