hi,

just wondering who has had a larger than average baby and how this affected the birth, either in good ways or by making things harder? i am only 5"2 and my doc guessed at 35 weeks the baby may have already been 7 and 1/2 pounds, so chances are i am probably going to have a pretty big baby... just wondering about other people's experiences, and whether they had to have a c-section etc.

some people have said they think a bigger baby can make it easier as they do 'more work' in getting down the birth canal and they are stronger.... hmmm, im thinking they are just trying to make me feel better, haha. i don't suppose there is anyone out there who can compare giving birth to a biggie v's a smallie?

(i did tried a search before posting but didnt know what to search on!)

ps did anyone with a big baby go before their due date??
