I was looking ath the VBAC board and wondering if I would have one when the day comes that we decide to try again. But Jay's head was 16in and to be honest I am a bit nervous thinking about it.

 

What size wasyour LO's head if you remember?

I don't remember Emily's but Aiden's was 17 inches around. He was 8 lbs, 7 oz and 21 3/4 inches long. He was a pretty big boy. I only had a small 2 stitch laceration though.

I don't remember exactly, but I remember it was so big not one little newborn hat fit her and I think only a couple of those cotton hats that come in packs fit  her for a couple weeks.  She still has a giant noggin, 96th percentile at her 9 months appointment (she was really sick the day of her 1 year appointment so we didn't make it and ended up in the ER instead, so I don't know how big it is now).  I got 30+ stitches but she also came out with her hands covering her face instead of the normal head first and arms by her side.

12.5, but he was 14 weeks early. I could only imagine how huge it would've been at full term.

Poor Hollywood!!  Ouch ouch ouch!  Shiloh's head was 12".  She was really small, BUT she did hang out with her head crowned and my contractions stalled for what seemed like 3 minutes.  She wasn't in distress and I wasn't either, so we waited for one more contraction and out she came.  Thanks to that though, I did get two stitches.  I am not going to dare ever complain after reading about Hollywood getting 30.

13.5'' she was 6lbs. 8oz. I needed a c-section her head was stuck and her heart rate kept dropping. I was looking into a VBAC but my doctor wasnt optimistic about it because of how small my dd was.
