There is heaps of info out there on VBAC's and the bigger baby "myth". Pelvimetry's are pretty much useless and there's no real way other than a baby's head locking against a pelvis to know whether or not the baby's head isn't going to fit (and as you've said every baby is different). A gf I knew who's babies head actually got stuck, went on to deliver her second baby perfectly fine and the head size was bigger with #2 so go figure! Also keep in mind I have heard PLENTY of stories about babies who don't fit due to the positions the mothers maintained during labour. I read one birth story of a lady who had been told twice (2 previous pregnancies) that her pelvis was too small, and ended up with 2 c/s. She did some research and found a great team (including a private midwife) and went on to have a VBA2C by alternating positions and staying OFF her back! Water births & Hypnobirths are also other positive ways to help acheive that VBAC.
I'll be happy to pass on his details Gemma, let me know if you want me to PM you?
Goodluck Pee!
I'll keep you all posted with how everything goes! We have our next Hypnobirthing class next week, I'm excited!
