question for the bigger mommies.

[dyingangel246]

Hey ladies this is a question for bigger ladies who have already had a baby. I was wondering how your deliveries went. If you went vaginal or c-section. I would like to have my baby vaginally. What I was wondering is if you ladies that had c-sections had them because you were heavy, were high risk or had some kind of complications. I am pretty heavy for my height and am starting to worry about it. Oh also those of you who did have a c-section how did your healing go?

I'm 5'3 almost 250 I had my daughter vaginally with only10 minutes of pushing. While I'm a big girl I made sure to stay as active as possible.

Csection due to 28 hrs of labor with only 2 cm dilated

I'm huge this prenancy.  I've been overweight with most of mine. First was CSection because she was breach. I've had three VBACs since. All went well. All about three years apart.  I've got it easy enough because I have fast labors.  But this one is breach again so I'm probably having another CSection.  I'm hoping healing will be fast and good. Nervous.  Vaginal birth is so much better and easier! But, we do what's best for our baby.  Good luck sweetie!

Dying angel so am I im due Oct.24th so I have a long way to go. When are you due?

Ive never heard that due to being big you have to have a csection...im big my csection was due to him being breech and this one is a repeat

[dyingangel246]

Thanks ladies! @bunnykissy I haven't talked to my Dr yet. I'm still in my first trimester so it hasn't com up yet. I'm hoping that he says I can try for a vaginal delivery unless I'm high risk.

I know im worried this pregnancy,  my other two I was normal weight but gained 50 lbs. Now I weigh 100 more lbs than what I started at with those pregnancies.  Im seeing a nutritionist April 1st. I try to exercise but im so tired and nauseous. I can't gain 50 lbs with this one, im 5'6 and 234. So im hoping everything will be ok and I can deliver vaginally like I did with the other two. What does your doctor say?

My first was an emergency csection. About 3 months before he was born, my city made it a law that you couldn't have a vbac. I've had 3 kids, and it seems to get better faster, with every baby I have. Good luck!

I had a c section and am on the heavier side but that's not why I had one. I didnt dilate past 6 and his heart rate dropped with every contraction. Healing wasnt bad but it was a longer process. I am currently 22weeks and opted for a 2nd c section bc I am not a good candidate for a vbac is what my ob said.
