Hi
I wouldn't like to do the 10 pounds again i am very small only 4 ft 10 and he was a vbac but it was a very long labour were he went in to distress and i had to have the vacuum suction and a huge episiotomy spelt that wrong plus my poor little lad was badly bruised and had a problem with one of his arms and foot from the delivery all sorted out now he is a fine big lad now i had also problems breathing after apparently from how hard i was pushing i was so determined i wasn't having another c section i knew it was coming to that as soon as they wanted to use the suction cup that failed on my fist son but in comparison to my last baby who was 8lbs 5 and only took 15 minutes pushing instead of nearly 4 hours ill pick a smaller baby but never will i have a selective c section i still preferred my long labour and delivery than that again may be not the stitches so sore i did tear third time round but didn't need stitches and it never gave me a problem
you know what the best thing was not having an epidural i loved being able to get up have a shower get changed and i felt great nearly back to normal a few hours later well in comparison to the other two births before that . although if all is well with me and baby this time and im not having a monster baby i don't mind going over i think ill get a doula so i wont cave for a epidural in a moment of weakness though
