my last baby was 10 lbs 6.8 Oz I'm scared for my next

My last pregnancy I was 19yrs old & had a 10lbs6.8oz baby girl! I ripped from front to back & had stitches. Couldn't walk for a couple weeks & past out after giving birth also had a catheter and was carried out by wheelchair! Now I'm 35 weeks & very afraid of a big baby. I want to know his size & to be infused a lil early if he's big too. Plus I herd boys are bigger. Advise please!!!!!

Thanks:) & don't be so scared it does hurt but the pain completely goes away once you see your baby, it's werid. My crotch doesn't look normal u can see ripped pieces (sry tmi)0_0 but thankfully my vagina is as it use to be before any kids. But not sure how much more I can take.  She weighed alot plus how swollen she was from me being in labor 26hrs. She looked huge! That's the first thing I thought about when I seen her lol. Couldn't help it. I was expecting a normal size baby

I heard boys are bigger too! I'm expecting a big baby :| these stories terrify me. I would try to get an idea of his size at your last ultrasound and if he's big and you want to avoid all that you can ways schedule a c-section. Peoe
Say a lot Of negative things about c-sections but it honestly depends on each person. I know people who have said they would do it every time and or recover better and faster then vaginally. It's something to think about :) good luck

If you are very concerned about this try talking with your Dr, if it doesn't seem like they are taking you seriously or they are not addressing your concerns properly, then remember you always have to the right to switch to a new OB.

I'm not sure my kat ultrasound was at 20 weeks to find out the sex. They felt my stomach & said it felt like I was measuring normal but they also said that with my first born & thought she was going to be 7 lbs. Do I have a right to request another ultrasound?
