OMG!! That's one of the most amazing things I've ever seen! I couldn't stop going through and checking out all the births!

omg the 3rd lady on the first site... WOW!
Thanks so much for sharing this, Kelly. Truly amazing. It should be shown at every birthing class.
I'm so tired of women telling me that their doctor told them they had a huge baby and that there is no way they'll ever be able to push it out (my friend was told that at her 20 week u/s).
And some women just don't ever question what these half-gods in white tell them. This particular girl was induced at 40weeks because otherwise the baby would have been too big (apparently). The induction failed, the baby went under distress and she ended up with a c/s. And was told that she was just so lucky that they did a c/s because the baby was 3.9kg and "there is no way she would have been able to give birth to him vaginally".
It's so frustrating!
I showed hubby that website and he now says that he's scarred for life ;-) He thought it was amazing that I could push DD out naturally, but now, he says: that was nothing ;-)

This is great to see. As throughout my pregnancy people would think it was there right to say things like "hahahaha look at the size of you, good luck hahhaha."
One person even said "You should ask for a c/s."
Did I show them, NO DRUGS and NO CUTS or TEARS!!!
Im no short but Im very thin
Woman are woman no matter what there size and this proves what we are made for and made of![]()
This is such a great link.... I've seen this before and it's such an inspiration.
The midwife I had at my appointment yesterday measured my belly to be 44. She then said to me "you want to be able to birth this baby out vaginally and not have to have a c/section" and I said "what do you mean by that?" (as I strongly plan on vaginal birth!!) and she said "because your baby looks to be about 8-9pds" (which isnt too big anyway!!) and I said to her "but you're only guessing, you don't know for sure"...... she also said to "watch what you're eating, make sure you cut back on the fatty foods"as if that's really going to make a difference! I eat well anyway!!!
honestly, the remarks she made to me about my babies size, were not necessary. No need for it. And thankfully i've done my research and no matter how big my baby is I know it will be just right for my body to birth it...
Any wonder some PG women have fear of birth when medical staff tell them their baby is too big to birth!!! Far out.....I'm so glad I know better than to listen to that midwife......
I walked out thinking **pppffft!** WHATEVER......
Just wanted to share.
Pffft indeed, Ren. I got told by my doctor in the middle of labour to prepare for a C section as there was very little chance I could birth my baby vaginally - and I DID IT. I'm bloody proud of that, no matter what anyone else says. He was a nice hefty 3.895kg as well with a whopping great head.
Well done Helly!!
