sass said:I am 5ft, size 3 feet and a size 6-8 and I gave birth naturally and ella was 7lb13oz. Because I was small and they knew she was going to be big (she was early hence not being too big!) I was told I would have to go to the hospital, not birth centre and a doctor had to be there when I started pushing (that was because of shoulder dystrophia though)
I did have to have forceps, but I don't know why? She wasn't in the right position so think it was that.
After I had her the midwives kept reading my notes which has BIG BABY written all over them, saying "7lb13 isn't that big", then looking at me and saying "oh, it is for you!"
Edited: I asked the consultant for a c-section the day before I went into labour at 38 wks and he said no!
