We are soon going to be ttc. It'll be my 3rd baby and DP's 1st. I have 2 boys from a previous marriage. DS1 was 7lb 2oz and DS2 was 10lb 5oz.
I didn't have gestastinal diabetes with DS2 so I don't know why he was so big. He was born at home.
The reason I am asking is a few friends have said (not knowing we're planning on trying soon) that I will have to see a consultant every month, lots of extra scans and more than likely I will have to have a CS.
I don't really want those things to happen. I don't mind the scans but I've seen a consultant before due to XH having a disabilty and he said that all women should give birth in hospital on their backs with epidurals. I most certainly do not want a CS, I want another home birth if everything is well.
Has anyone had a big baby and then go on to have a vaginal birth?
