Big baby - c-section or early induction?

CoteDAzur · 2009-04-06 17:45:27

It looks like I am having another big baby DD was 4 kgs and I had the mother of all episiotomies. Trauma of birth and especially the weeks of agony that followed are still quite fresh in my mind. Now 33 weeks pregnant with a boy and I was told today at 7 month scan that he looks like he will be 4.3 kgs at 40 weeks My monthly doctor's appointment is on Wednesday. We have already talked about the possibility of c-section or 3 weeks early induction if baby turned out to be big. I would like to find out about pros & cons of each before then. Any opinions?
