Hi, I just got through viewing and it is encouraging. I am 37 weeks and measured large at my obs office. They sent me off to have an ultrasound which gave me a measurement of 9.9. My doctor wanted to wait until the following week to even discuss with me my options of delivery. I was very scared because my last two children were 7.3, and 8.11. I am only 5.4 and am overweight but not gestational diabetic. I have concern that since I am not dilating but have a soft cervix at last check that my baby is not going to be able to deliver on his own. My doctor said that at the next check on Monday if I am not dilating he wants to discuss options since it may be "mother natures way" of saying I can’t deliver this "macrosomic baby" I wonder if anyone has an opinion of this? I want to deliver vaginally, but I am willing to go cesarian if there is a risk of his shoulders getting damaged or something else.

Thank you! Thank you! Finally, a group dedicated to connecting women with VBAC resources that really inspire and support them! When I saw this site, it made realize I’m not alone.
This video gave me the courage to trust myself and my intuition when it comes to my birth experience.
