Hi, I'm 39 wks & have been told my baby is already weighing around 9lbs. I was told all the risks eg shoulder dystocia, forceps, baby getting stuck, emergency c section etc. The only option I was given was to be induced in a weeks time. I'm worried the baby is only going to get bigger during that time. Should I not have been offered a C Section as I feel more comfortable with this option as I wouldn't be worried all week about pushing out a huge baby and having some sort of complication. I feel like I can't speak to my midwife as she is useless. Im not sure who to ask about this. Should I call the hospital back today to discuss? I feel like it's my baby but I've had no say in anything whatsoever. Advise much appreciated.
