The ultrasound can be very wrong about the weight of baby. Ten pounds is still fine to push out

Vaginally is very possible. Sometimes bigger babies can be easier to push out than smaller babies plus ultrasounds can be off by up to a pound at this point.

9lbs is not unusual for a vaginal birth.

Is there a scheduled induction as of yet? I had my baby naturally and she was only ounces shy of 10 lbs. I pushed her out in 3 pushes! Good Luck Girl!

It is very possible to have it naturally. My friend's second baby was nearly 10 lbs and she had him naturally with no pain relief! Plus they can only estimate the weight of the baby before it is born so it might not actually be 9lbs. Good luck!

its still possible to have your baby vaginally but my Dr. told be that if any of his woman have a baby 9 lbs and up he would do a csection because its to much of of a risk that at will end up in a emergency csection anyway because if your pushing for hrs and that baby is just to big to pass the baby could become stressed
