[quote=Anonymous]here's my take on your situation as a petite, with a small pelvis ---- and I was 43 when I had my first child. OB in my former city had examined me for years before pg, and expressed his opinion that I could not deliver a baby over 7 pounds, that I was that small. However, I didn't see new OB who would deliver baby until I was already pg, so he didn't really know my anatomy. We scheduled induction for 39 weeks, and planned to labor and deliver vaginally. Now, I did not have any late ultrasounds where they estimated baby's size (and as pp pointed out, these estimates can be way off). On induction day, 8am pitocin, normal course of labor (epidural at around noon) but by 5 pm had only dilated to 4. Baby boy delivered at 5:51 pm via c-section--he weighed just under 7lbs 1 oz. And his head was apparently right at my pelvic bone and going nowhere! The OB who knew my anatomy had predicted this exactly. Oh, and recovery from c-section was not any issue for me.[/quote]
