I am one of those ones that grow big babies. My last baby measured on the 95th centile at 30 weeks and the 97th at 36 weeks. I desperately wanted a vaginal birth but on knowing his size (which in my case was spot on accurate) and my pregnancy complications I chose to have a planned c-section. I was on cloud 9 after he wss born and i didnt miss out on a thing (except labor). I still saw him coming out, got to touch him all gooey and had skin to skin and tried to breastfeed. It was the best birthing decision i have made. My babies were big genetically and there was nothing i could have done to change it even though i am small framed.

Babies, even the huge ones, are designed so they will fit out, and if for some reason your care professional and you decide its not safe then there are other options available which can still give you a wonderful experience bringing your baby into your arms, it certainly wss for me.

Oh and for the record my baby now 14 weeks measures on the 100th centile :eek:
