One of those rare times when I agree with my MIL

My first two children came on their due date and my lovely doctor is expecting the same for this one. My mother says that a c-section will make things quicker and easier, when I did natural for my other two. My MIL, who is generally always thinking I'm wrong, said do what you think is best for you. I was there with the first two, and I know you don't need a c-section. You're a champ. She hugged me and I decided that these are my children, and I will be in charge of the rest of their lives, starting with the birth. So, my mom was wrong. My MIL had it all right.

    I'm lost, why would she even suggest a c/s especially after having 2 vaginal deliveries?

    I gained a little bit more weight this time around, and she said that vaginal makes you even bigger, and that if I do the c/s I can get lipo afterward. My own mother called me fat! :/

    I've never heard of a vaginal birth making one larger.  Pregnancy does that :)

    Please elaborate for the class... how does vaginal make you bigger? I would think that slicing across all your abdominal muscles would make your tone harder to recover and therefore make you seem flabbier for longer?

    This last pregnancy took a little bigger toll on my weight, during my last two, I gained around 17 lbs., during this one, I gained 34 lbs. My mother wanted me to do c-section because I gained much more than my other two, and didn't like my fit when she saw me that day, and told me to get a c-section to get lipo afterwards.

    Kate Hudson gained 70 pounds while she was pregnant with her first child--and she is a tiny lady.  Every time I worry about how much I have gained with this pregnancy I think of that.  Everyone gains a different amount--regardless of how you eat.
