My Ob predicted a 'perfectly average sized baby' (his words) of 8lb, yet all the midwives kept feeling the bump and warning me I was going to have a huge baby, bigger than the Ob said. I politely asked them to stop trying to freak me out, that it was the head circumference I was most thinking about () and I knew I was going to feel it no matter the size so please stop freaking me out.

My Ob was spot on. She was exactly 8lb. But smaller or bigger, labour is still labour, and they still have to make an entrance. And you can do it. It's scary, I know, I walked around saying I was so prepared but as birth drew closer I realised how scared I was. Your baby is going to be the perfect size for you, and you can do it
