I'm a little alarmed to read this. ...Hey there,<br />I'm a little alarmed to read this. A baby (a TWIN for that matter) who is already measuring past 8 pounds at the 35-week mark is a BIG baby. Any number of doctors I know would qualify that and that alone as an automatic C-section if the mama was wanting it. Thing is, doctors usually don't want to deliver large babies because they can do a lot of damage coming out, and that means cutting and suturing and lots more healing time. (Trust me on this one, my sister vaginally delivered an 11-pound baby, had some follow-up surgery, and probably needs ANOTHER follow-up surgery to repair everything.) Not saying your babe will make it to 11 pounds, but even MY doctors agreed that with my body type, I wouldn't have been able to vaginally deliver my 8-pound son (a week early). <br />Not saying all of this to scare you, I just want you to have a SAY in what happens. Your doctor is your doctor, but he's only HALF the team here. You are the other HALF, and you get a SAY in how things go. If you are uncomfortable with the plan, please feel free to speak up and say, "Look, this is NOT working for me, I want to discuss alternatives." <br />I just want you to be empowered to have the delivery that YOU want to have. You are carrying twins, and one of them is large; I can't imagine a doctor not adhering to your wishes if you want a C-section regardless. <br />Praying for you.<br />BeckyBeckyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02900659581244851168noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3257361751294579894.post-86687753667276066252010-05-23T18:03:57.705-07:002010-05-23T18:03:57.705-07:00OH MAN.
