I know plenty of people who delivered a 9 pound baby naturally. You dont have to have a c section! Like the other lady mentioned,  those scans are NEVER right with the weight

Did you all gain a lot of weight?? Wondering because I would like to have a healthy baby. And want to gain a lot to make sure my baby is growing.

Jacob my first was 9.5... I was in labor from Sunday afternoon until I had to agree to a section on Tuesday morning because I had stopped dialating at 4 cm...afterwards I was told I would have had to have a section regardless, his lil butt wouldn't have fit. My point is at least you know in advance.. this way you can plan to have a positive experience despite not being the delivery we all hope for. Better then pushing and trying fir 2 days

I had to have one and I had no issues. I'm generally very small and my son would have ripped me apart. I'm glad I had one and if this is a big baby I may have another one. I time out women who like to make it sound like a death sentence. I educate myself on the pros and cons before I do anything and I always do what is right for my baby and my health. Good luck whichever way you go.
