Belfie - there's the height diff with me a DBF too. I'm 5'2" (yes another one!) and he's 6'2.5". So I'm sure that wa a concern for them.
My drs were preparing me for the fact that I would most likely need a c/s too. For a number of reasons actually. Firstly, there's more of a chance of needing a c/s with an induction (stats say that), plus I needed forceps with Randall, plus GD and size, plus Randall was 8olb 3oz without GD. I was prepared for it but wasn't too keen on the idea, but aslong as we are all healthy it didn't really matter how he was born. I was just hoping that it would be by epi and not general so that DBF could see him being born (he didn't get to see his ds born, dmn cow of an ex lol).
Part of me was hoping to go naturally as I was induced with Randall too and wanted to experience the whole build up of labor. But I don't think I could have handled the last two weeks. All that uncomfortableness (I'm sure that's a word lol). I know the gels helped labor come on quickly but an hour and seventeen minutes is a rather short labor so my worry is that if I had gone naturally would I have made it to the hospital in time seeing as the hospital is at least 45 minutes drive away? I'm not so sure I would have.
