I've mentioned this in a couple of threads on BB but I'm happy to say it again.... I was 9lb and born via a drug free, intervention free, 90 minute vaginal birth. My mum is 5 foot nothing and had quite a small frame in her day. I really don't agree with induction or c-sections because the docs think a baby is too big. A friend of ours had a c-section earlier this year as her bubs was apparently huge. He was just short of 9lb so still in the 8lb region. Big? Hardly!

Good luck with your birth. I hope you get the birth you want. Good luck!
