Hi I'm 38w Tomorrow And I Had An Ultrasound Today! .. My Baby boy Already Wieghs 7lbs 14oz. Almost To 8lbs. My Doctor Told Me If He's Getting To Big We Might Have To Tlk About Being Induced Or C-Section. My Due Date Is The 20th Of This Month And If I Wait By The Time He'll Probably BE Wieghing 9-10lbs. I'm So Scared If Ill Be Indduced Does It Hurt?? My More WORRY is C-Section! CAN YOU FEEL THE PAIN? I Jus Wanna Know What It Feels Like For Both!

I'm a very short girl! That's why she wants to talk to me about c-section incase he doesnt cooperate. Also she wants to induce me because well like I said she's afraid I wont be able to push him out. I'm actually trying my hardest to go into labor but he just doesn't wanna come out! LOL but thank Yu all for your comments! !

Birth is birth. It's going to hurt like hell regardless if you're induced or not from contractions. I will say to try to have your baby vaginally. I was told I couldn't deliver a baby from everyone from my small stature, and i actually believed them. My doctor told me that we were going to try a vaginal because you never know. Sure enough, 8 hours later, i delivered a 7 pound baby boy vaginally! he was predicted to weigh around 8 pounds. This baby a month ago weighed 5 pounds already, but my doctor wants to avoid a section if possible. You have the right to request a natural labor unless it is a medical emergency, and even then, you still have to ok it or your next of kin (husband, mother, etc) if you're unable to. Good luck on your baby's arrival!

i was induced and ended in a csection... my induction was brutal but my daughter was face up with her head arked back and she was stuck... was never gonna come out, oh and her head size was in the 95 percentile so it was big lol anyway thats why my induction was so bad... i made it to 7 cm and they called it quits and i went for my csection.... following my csection i had no issues at all! i never felt any pain... just a tiny bit of soreness but i really could barely tell i had major surgery and i was walking between floors constantly to go feed my daughter in the NICU so i wasnt taking it easy or getting much sleep.... so this time i chose to have a csection... following it i felt so sick and puked constantly for a good 8 hours or more (thank goodness they give slow acting painkillers prior to leaving the OR)
and i was so sore for 2-3 weeks following... BUT i also came home to a toddler :)  so every experience is different and whatever happens just take it day by day... i would totally do it all over in a heartbeat for my kids... they make it worth it!!
But do what makes you feel more comfortable, you are stonger than you think  :) congrats and good luck

Why can't you just wait and deliver a 9lb baby? At least 4 of my neices and nephews were well over 9lbs (one over 10 actually) and born naturally, no inducing or even epidurals. The mom of some of the bigger ones didn't even tear in delivery (and she is a small woman). Don't let the doctor scare you into doing something just cause the baby might be large. If you want to avoid a c-section, I wouldn't get induced.
