elective c section?
hi i had a c sec about 4 months ago with my 1st child he was born weighing a whopping 10lbs 4oz they tried to make me push him out but i only have a relativly small frame so evenyually once he got so far he got stuck which lead to my emergancy c section. Once he was born they told me that next time id should expect a bigger baby and if this is the case then i dont particularly want to give birth vaginally to the next one in the future so i was wondering could i have an elective c sction especially if the next baby ends up weighing more than the last as he was an enormous baby?? i couldnt believe it when he was born as all the doctors and midwifes had scanned my and felt the baby and said he seemed like an average size baby but i beg to differ at 10lbs 4oz lol

i had an em cses as my son was bigish at 9lb 5. i've got very small hips so he never even engaged. at my booking in they said i could chose an elective which i think i will do.
with my ds i had a scan at 34 weeks as i had an anterior placenta and they said he was small so i dont want to rely on a growth scan again!
