Weighing 193kg at 39weeks FTM

I’m not sure if I should have a csection or try natural, has anyone my size had a natural birth no complications? My baby is due March 31st, any advice please x

I would say try natural birth I had 2 c section and it’s harder to keep the c section scar dry because of my belly covering it I would say if you can do natural then try that 😊

I had a natural birth no complications although I was pushing for 1hr 45mins. I had the pethidine and an epidural highly recommend xx

Drs will try to push you into a section as your weight will in their eyes mean your "more likely to have a section", but that's rubbish from what I've learned from an fb page. Definitely go for natural. I tried natural but ended with with a EMCS as the baby became in distress. Turned out her cord was round her arm. otherwise, I'd have done natural xx

Did your babies come early, on time or overdue? X

I'm 130kg, had a vaginal birth but tore as she just flew out rather than coming slowly, this was on gas and air. It's up to you to decide what birth you want unless you're being told a specific reason for a section x

My little one was 2 weeks early she just wanted to get out and meet the world xx

@Charleigh it’s been recommended but I’m still unsure with what decision to go with especially being nearly 200kg, what did your baby weigh?x

Update, I gave birth yesterday natural but I tore quite deeply so I had to go into surgery 🥹 but it was all worth it x

Congratulations
