My first was 9lb 1 and i'm only really small, she came out easily without any assistance. Apparently big babies help with the pushing too.

Im told my LO is big so I asked if they would induce due to that but they said no that I might be offered a C-section if he gets to big but I dont want that

either way if I dont go into labor before 39 week Ill most likely be induced or thats what they told me but I dohave GD and high BP...

big babies are supposed to be easier to give birth to (gravity etc) - well thats what i am telling myself as my LO is measuring 3 weeks ahead

I think the best way of looking at it is that it's going to hurt whatever the size - sucks but it's true

I'm hoping for a smaller one, but mainly because of clothes I've bought, don't think it's gonna make a difference to the pain - OW

Yes girls it's too late to change our minds!!
