I was induced at 39 weeks and we were expecting a 7 or 8 pound baby. The induction went GREAT, the labor was awesome, pushed for ten minutes and out came...a 10 pound 8 ounce bundle of chubbiness. So yeh...it can be done. And I was having a vaginal birth AFTER a C-section with my first. We were the most popular people in the hospital. Good luck to you!Jesshttp://www.sleepwhendead.typepad.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13166514.post-45463678299417702962007-03-03T20:42:00.000-06:002007-03-03T20:42:00.000-06:00Here is to us 'hippy', 'proven pelvis' kinda gals!<BR/>My two have been huge...1st boy was a week late and came in @ a whopping 11'14.8oz, no that is not a typo you read it right.<BR/>2nd boy was 3 weeks early. I was told 4 hours before he was born that he was about 9,9. Well he came out at 10lb 10oz!<BR/><BR/>Here's to the big babies and big hips! No, I'm not a big girl. I'm about 5'8 and 190. Just guess I breed 'em big. I only gained there weight in pregnancy. Which was awesome, because once they were born I was already back to my pre-prego weight. But man did my hair and nails take a beating!<BR/><BR/>Good luck to you in the next few weeks!Love your blog!Lorihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10343391349366323278noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13166514.post-2183738731516926682007-03-02T09:51:00.000-06:002007-03-02T09:51:00.000-06:00I wanted to take my computer to the hospital and blog the event but when I asked about WiFi or ethernet I was met with blank stares and utter confusion as to why I felt the need to bring my laptop. I was told that accomodations were mae for people with "long" stays.<BR/><BR/>Luckily the family room had a computer with internet so I was back and blogging that afternoon :)Jack's Raging Mommyhttp://jacksragingmommy.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13166514.post-5207849236966822642007-03-02T08:17:00.000-06:002007-03-02T08:17:00.000-06:00My oldest was 9# 11 ounces...<BR/><BR/>and three weeks early.<BR/><BR/>He attempted to skip over the newborn stage and go right for toddlerhood.<BR/><BR/>i wish you (and your uterine inhabitant) lots of luck!<BR/><BR/>:)SBhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14435386661195184387noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13166514.post-33759430931480313392007-03-01T18:19:00.000-06:002007-03-01T18:19:00.000-06:00I think you need to make a button you can wear around "Proven Pelvis". <BR/><BR/>Good Luck!

With my first, they said he would be about 7 pounds about 2 weeks before my due date. He arrived a week early: 8 lbs 4 ozs! Too big for my perineum, needed an episi at the very end.<BR/><BR/>With No. 2, I'm totally freaked. He's due NEXT SUNDAY, the 11th, and I just know he's bigger than his brother was... so if he doesn't get the heck out before the middle of next week... they're likely going to induce so I don't go past my due date.ewe are herehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13339650361453626546noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13166514.post-72949667861633315012007-03-01T16:44:00.000-06:002007-03-01T16:44:00.000-06:00I'm a labor and delivery nurse, and I have actually seen more than one or two babies that were THREE lbs off of the ultrasound prediction -- in both directions.

I am a petite person, and was worried about labor. They told me I should be fine, the baby looked to be about 7 1/2 lbs or so.<BR/><BR/>Weellll, 20 hours of labor later, new doc on shift comes in, has me try to push twice and orders an emergency c-section. The thing I remember most about the delivery was the entire operating room saying "he's so BIG"...at 9lbs 12oz from my (prior to pregnancy) size 2 body....lisa bnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13166514.post-5706220637025631782007-03-01T15:41:00.000-06:002007-03-01T15:41:00.000-06:00A Proven Pelvis! That is funny! I had four babies, the smallest being 8'4oz. My last baby they said would be another 9 pounder - He was 11 lbs and 24" and I am only 5'4". He was the only C-section I had. Just thought I would give you something to think about during the next three weeks. Yes, I do have an onery streak but honestly, it doesn't come out that often.

The Boy was 9 lbs. even, and I really didn't want to have a c-section, but boy-howdy was I glad I did when I saw his giant head!

Love it.<BR/><BR/>When I was in college, there was this bio major nerd chick in my dorm who was all "Oh, you have hips for birthing babies" to me. I wanted to smack her. So NOT what hippy women want to hear. I guess she was envious... or looked at me as a clinical specimen rather than a person. Whatever.<BR/><BR/>I thought my pelvis would prove itself in its moment in the sun. Then came the birthing day. Little did I know his head would be as big as a basketball. And even 9 days late, that sucker wasn't coming out!<BR/><BR/>Needless to say, my pelvis let me down. And I have the C scar to prove it.<BR/><BR/>That bio nerd chickie? Can eat dog do.<BR/><BR/>Oh, liveblogging your son's birth would be wonderful (for us)!! It might be a bit much for you, but it could keep Hubs busy, huh?<BR/><BR/>I hope you go into labor soon!! Yippee! Here's to a healthy baby & a healthy Mom...Mariehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02786396757899820953noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13166514.post-20406500899671663442007-03-01T10:22:00.000-06:002007-03-01T10:22:00.000-06:00Holy Cow!<BR/>My son was only 7lbs 6oz, and was 3 weeks early. That gives me some perspective. At least your pelvis is proven, but still. I guess you're about to go through your own "letting go." I think liveblogging the birth may work as some sort of mental epidural.

Induction I loved (even the Pitocin---anything to start the labor process at that point was okay for me; I was 2 weeks late)---its the planner in me.

I agree with the commenters saying to take it with a grain of salt. Just trust your gut, that and your proven pelvis. I was another one with labors too quick for drugs, well actually the second wasn't too quick, but the <I>Just breathe it away, honey</I> nurse scared m too much to ask. So, two girls, 7lbs 14oz and then 9lbs 8oz. I think a third, if we're luck enough, will come out eating solid foods.<BR/><BR/>Good luck!Amandahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05864631532886681402noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13166514.post-15151686268024875312007-02-28T20:13:00.000-06:002007-02-28T20:13:00.000-06:00Lindsay, Woo hoo!
