DD (first baby) was 9 pounds 11, born just after due date.
Am pg with DC2 and very worried about having another big baby. I know lots of people on here say that size (weight) doesn't matter, it's head size that's important (she had a massive head too) but am interested in whether a consultant is likely to be able to offer me any options other than just going through another Vb.
Had ventouse and forceps with DD and don't ever want forceps near me ever again. Do consultants generally consider c-section or early induction in these circs, or would they just expect me to get on with it?
(I am well aware of the risks, drawbacks, recvery etc relating to c-sec and potential drawbacks to inducing early but really just want to know whether a consultant is even likely to consider these)
THanks

If you have a history of high birthweight babies will a consultant consider options other than spontaneous VB?
