Anyone have experience giving birth to a 9+ pound baby? What was the experience like for you?

Asked by keobooks (14322points) August 14th, 2010

I’m only 34 weeks pregnant, and my daughter is already about six pounds. The ultrasound technician gasped and said “Oh… wow… wow.. ” when she saw her thigh bone on the screen. My doctor is estimating her size at 9 – 10 pounds at birth. She’s telling me horror stories about vaginal birthing at this size and she’s scared me lots. She keeps telling me “It’s not the head.. it’s the shoulders that will tear you up..”

Anyone have any stories about giving birth to big babies? I’d like to hear.
