[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]#1 was one week early, 8lbs 2oz, 1hr 45 min of pushing, one small tear in labia, 2 stitches. #2 was one week late, 9lbs 2oz, 11 minutes of pushing, no tears. Both natural births.[/quote] This was similar to my experience, though both my babies were late. First was 2 weeks late and born 8 lb. 6 oz, 45 mins pushing, one tiny external tear, 1-2 stitches; was sore for 2 days, but that's largely b/c I labored for 30 hours w/ a stubborn cervix that didn't want to dilate. My second was 1 week late and born 9 lb., 7 oz., only labored 6-7 hours, he was out in 2 pushes, not a single tear and no swelling, 4 hours later I didn't even feel like I'd given birth, and I only bled 3-4 days. Natural birth. It can definitely be done, and I don't think a bigger baby necessarily = tearing or a harder baby. [/quote]
