Yep I have to say I agree totally. I had an emerg c/s with Paris and Seth was my vbac @ 9lb11oz, Paris was 10oz smaller. Whilst I hadn't given birth before, I found Seth pretty easy and I didn't tear or anything. It depends on how effective your birth is not how big the baby is As my ob said to me he's seen a woman struggle with a 5lber and push out a 10lber with ease. I think its something we like to think makes things "hard" but its not necessarily so.
