Kelly I discuss this with my ob each time and one of her arguements for induction in that the placenta breaks down and becomes inefficient in supplying the baby. Do you know of any articles on this topic?

On the topic of big bubs, I've birthed two 9lb 5oz and 9lb 10oz. Did tear but they were quick and the second one was intervention free, including drugs and only 1.5 hours long. Some of us are built for birthing babies! The midwife actually said that it's a bit easier to birth a heavier bub coz gravity helps lol!
