Big babies have very little to do with how a birth will turn out. Naturally sometimes a bigger baby can take longer to be born as they can need more time to be pushed through the birth canal - but the biggest factor in birth is how big a role your mind plays in it. If you are told beforehand that you are going to have a big baby then no way known will you be able to push that to the back of your mind and forget about it. If you have no idea of the estimated size of your baby, you just go about giving birth - you don't focus on their size and if that will make birth harder/longer/ more difficult. All these women who appear in the paper from time to time having given birth vaginally to really large babies (like the 5.8kg bub the other day and there was one in the UK who was nearly 6.5kg) had no idea as to the size of their bub they just birthed them, simple as that. And sometimes all a birth needs to progress is simple as a change of position for a mum.

The same applies here for Jodi who has birthed beautifully two times since her third birth, unhindered by the knowledge of what happened in that birth, so now her job is to work through the feelings she has about it so she can have another beautiful birth this time.
