I have posted about this before, but will post again.

My first, Olivia, was born naturally, and we went through shoulder distocia. She wasn't large: only 7lb 4oz. She was overdue by 10 days. (I was lucky: I had a fantastic OB & midwife adn despite the SD it was an amazing birth)

Then I was pregnant with my son, Charlie. My original OB was happy to support another natural vaginal birth, but then we moved interstate and I started from scratch with a new OB. Who was a little more keen on the CS option. However, I stuck to my guns and just kept saying "But I do not want a CS", so we compromised on an induction at 38 weeks, as Charlie was guestimated to be HUGE.

I was induced with Cahrlie (syntocin drip), had a 3 hour labour, and Charlie was born at 6lb 13oz, and flew out like a bar of soap........I gave birth standing up in a squatting position. It was brilliant.

Then with my 3rd pregnancy, there was no question of anything else but a natural vaginal birth.....Lexie was nearly born in the car at 7lb 7oz: labour was less than an hour and again I gave birth standing up.

HTH.........
