This question always reminds me of my mum. When my mum was pregnant with my youngest brother she was H-U-G-E, I mean seriously OMG-are-you-having-twins-can't-honestly-reach-infront-of-my-belly-huge. Now considering she's only 5foot and her previous pregnancy involved a hugely complicated birth and almost 10pound bonny boy (thanks other brother ) the medical professionals were literally pooing themselves over this pregnancy, all the scans and indications where showing this bub to be an absolute monster.

So when it came time for the labour, her room resembled a circus (this was back in the 80's so routine C-Sections weren't so routine back then), there were OB's galore, more nurses than you could poke a stick at and pediatricians by the bucketload, all awaiting the birth of a sumo wrestler.

So there were ALOT of very sheepish men milling around trying to look useful when mum calmly birthed a 6pd 11ounce bub! LOL!

They were definately needed after the birth (but that had nothing to do with the actual birth itself) so honestly darling take what they say with a pinch of salt ... looks can most definately be deceiving!!!
