Guest guest Posted October 30, 2001 Report Share Posted October 30, 2001 Talking of big babies, I saw my colleague who'd had the >10lb baby girl today (well, she had her 6 weeks ago and then she was more than 10 lb, iykwim). She'd been over an hour in theatre being stitched afterwards, so I asked her how she was today. Not good, she replied - and she said her GP had said " If I send you to the gynae they'll say " sorry, you're not going to feel great for another 3 to 6 months minimum " too " . All this and a 2 1/2 yr old to deal with as well. Anyone offer some advice/comfort? I suggested a valley cushion or a roro (different but similar I think). She's one of your members Angi I think.

At the risk of repeating myself ... Ah but size isn't everything 10lb 8oz was easier than 9lb 8oz which was easier than 6lb!! And no tears or grazes from birthing #2 and #3 Sorry if I'm getting monotonous just hate the fact that I was *made* to feel scared of the potential size of my baby during my PG - incidentally the alarmist consultant said he wouldn't be happy for me to birth a baby over 10lbs - perhaps I should let him know how wonderful it was - didn't even have that nasty burning sensation !! Jenni ( & Gethyn) 17yrs - 6lbs - Hospital Birth, retained placenta. Mari 3yrs - 9lb 10oz - Home Birth, retained placenta/primary pph. Nia 13/09/01 - 10lb 8oz - Home Water Birth, retained placenta/primary pph.

Maybe the fact that your midwife has only done one episiotomy is good...maybe she is better skilled and knows how to deliver a baby without the need. I heard that the way a midwife handles the delivery can make a huge difference on how much you are likely to need certain procedures, or how much you are likely to tear! Guess there must be some truth in it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted October 31, 2001 Report Share Posted October 31, 2001 I know!! was a ventouse and 3rd degree episiotomy. Kitty was much easier and I am sure that the episiotomy they gave me was unnecessary - I hadn't been pushing long, but she got me on my back and said 'If we just make a little snip - it will really speed things up!' My midwife for the next one has done one episiotomy in the last 6 years - so I don't really want her 'practicing' on me!! BTW, my children still have huge heads - they hate wearing jumpers as it is always a battle to get them over their heads. http://www.foxstitch.co.uk/ Jenni wrote: > > > > Heck - was 3 weeks early and weighed 7lb 3oz, Kitty was 2 weeks early > > and 8lb 7 oz, I won't even mention head sizes (they were plotted as being > > born at 40 weeks and were both on the 90th plus centile) I really don't fancy > > going to full term with this one!! > > At the risk of repeating myself ...
