my first Jasper 7lb 7oz I had an epsiotimy, lots of stitches, then I had Logan 9lb 12oz slight tear and 3 stitches.. his shoulders got stuck on the way out (shoulderdystocia) nobody predicted he was going to be that large not even me I thought 8lb maybe.. this time I will be monitored more closely as Logan did struggle to get out.. but both dr and midwife have said noone can predict how big a baby is going to be...sending you best wishes for your up and coming birth..
