You can't enjoy a baby when you feel so much pain after a c-section. Ug, I cringe when I think back to mine.<br /><br />My babies always measured large, but they were all in the 7lb range (except for my last one). :)<br /><br />Well, good luck in making decisions. One way or the other, you'll have your sweet baby boy soon.Mollyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16733860973554500488noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35657237.post-52480552189091227172010-07-21T00:03:14.855-07:002010-07-21T00:03:14.855-07:00Tough decisions ahead, for sure. As someone that ...Tough decisions ahead, for sure. As someone that had a c-section and then has had to fight tooth and nail for natural birthing options since then, I'd really, really not take that choice lightly. Over the past couple months, I've had three friends that are petite be induced early (37 weeks) due to a history of big babies. All three were able to deliver healthy babies and since they were early, the babies were all in the seven pound range instead of larger like the doctors feared they would be at 40 weeks. Recovery from a c-section is rough and you have a major risk of infection :( . It could also take away birthing options for you down the road and cause pregnancy complications (things like placental abruption and placenta previa are much more common after CS due to scar tissue). Also, remember that measurements by ultrasound have an error margin of up to 25%. So an US could measure the baby at 8lbs, but in reality it is only 6.<br /> <br />Not trying to scare you or be a negative Nancy, just trying to offer some things to think about :) I'm sure you won't take the decision lightly and will know what is the best route for you!Meloneehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01326030913642994702noreply@blogger.com
