Hi Ken,
the Caesar was offered because she her first baby 18 months earlier that way! and not due to her body but the baby having a full knot in the cord! gives me the irits that such an invasive procedure can be just offered for no good reason if you've had one before. (scar in good order, healthy young mum and all!)
Big babies?
My first baby weighed 4060 at birth, I had an easy time of it but his shoulders were like the Sydney Harbour Bridge OUCH!
thanks for the info.
Julie'',

Subject: [ozmidwifery] big baby fear?Hi all,I'm concerned that saying to a mother that their having a "nice big baby" can be a bit terrifying as my niece just told me that she was so glad she had a caesarean because he was such a big baby. He was actually only... weight 2980, length 49.5cm head circumference 35.5cm. I asked her why she thought this was big as its her second child and second ceasar. Her reply was that all through her pregnancy she was told that he was a big baby, even a very big baby! maybe it was because my niece is very overweight that this was said, I don't know? I'm sure the Midwives meant that he was a healthy baby not to huge to be birthed. What is a big baby anyway?Curious as always Julie'',
