A...Oh Jenny, this makes my heart so happy to read!! As you are obviously aware, we are so blessed to live in a time where a Caesarean birth is an option when needed, but I truly believe too many women are induced for suspected big babies. Do you read Rebecca's blog on Evidence Based Birth at all? She has a great article on this that I wish I'd have known to send you when you were struggling with this decision! http://evidencebasedbirth.com/evidence-for-induction-or-c-section-for-big-baby/ (I share this with you now just in case you ever have a friend/sister in a similar situation)<br /><br />At any rate, I had a 9#5oz baby boy at home without problem (MUCH easier than his 8#2oz sister, in fact), and the next week I read that you had Elliot at 9#12oz vaginally after a schedule c/s and thought DAMN - way to go Jenny! <br /><br />So yes, I truly 100% believe that all women should be supported in the way they want to give birth, but I am SO happy that you went into this birthing time STRONG and CONFIDENT with a practitioner that was on board for letting you try to do it your way. Reading this just seriously made my day! Congrats on your beautiful family of 4. :)<br />JJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13927400109657416336noreply@blogger.com
