Check out the BB article on induction on the main site (also the big baby articles), has a section on big babies and GD. I havent had GD, but just had a big bubba (over 4kgs) which is bigger than many GD babies I see and hear of. I didnt need any stitches or tools to get her born. My mum always told me bigger babies are easier to birth lol, she had a 10lber too, and coped beautifully. The big baby scare tactic is nuts. Lots you can do to help make it an easier birth.
Yeah that!

You know the issues I've been facing because I have a threatened "big baby" and not a GD in sight. I had an almost 11lb bub and it was an easier, less stressful, faster delivery than my 8lb bub. And the recovery was better.
