[quote=amymard]I'm a doula and a mom of two (one of which was born weighing 9lbs 14.5 ounces). I can't tell you how many times my clients have been told they are having HUUUUGE babies only to birth a 7 pounder. It makes me crazy. And it turns out, I was one who had a huge baby and he was delivered underwater, with about 35 minutes of pushing and superficial tearing that required just one stitch. Please don't let your doctors make you nervous about birth weight. If it really is an issue, you'll be able to make some decisions about how you deiiver once you're actually in labor. Our bodies are meant to do this birthing thing. And of course, inducing increases your chances of delivering by c-section so if you want to avoid that, I'd avoid an early induction. [/quote]
