Hi! I'm usually a Lurker but I have a question that I hope someone can help me with. I'm on baby number 2 and I am due the 24th with a boy who does not want to come out! My first born was 9lbs and I was forced to have a csection due to her large size. My question is. Is it possible for my son to be smaller? I'm scheduled for a csection on the 28th, if he doesn't come on his own but I desperately want a vbac.. :( thanks for listening.

    Well I can't help you but I pray they can be smaller cause my last one was 9lbs 7oz and I couldn't have drugs!!! :( I am kinda leaning towards a c section but if not I will have a vbac. Oh what I meant to say tho was my 9lb 7oz was my first vbac after a csection. So you CAN have a vbac with a large baby!!! But it hurt like hell!!!! :-((

    Most subsequent children are larger. My children did geet bigger, however, it is possible to have a smaller second child. I wish you luck on you vbac adventure :)

    I also forgot to add. What were the differences in dates your babies came? My daughter was a week late and I'm hoping by some chance he will come now. I'm 39weeks today.

    Have the drs told you how big they think he is right now??? @usplus2

    My first son was 12 days pdd and was 8.6oz. My second was 7 days pdd and was 8lbs 7oz. and my 3rd I insisted they take me a week early cause I knew he was gonna be huge!!! So they agreed he might be an 8lber and took me 1 week early. he was 9lb 7oz. If they just keep getting bigger I am looking at a 10lb baby :(

    I'm having my second as well, so I'm hoping they can be smaller as well. My first was 9lbs 5oz, I didn't have to have a c section so hopefully I won't with this one either.
    I know it is possible for them to be smaller, but I think it is less likely to happen.

    Well my Dr said he is right where he should be in weight as of Wednesday. But then again with my daughter i was never told she was big. I'm just dreading the thought of another csection :(

    Yeah course your son could be smaller. I have 2 already and also due on 24th with my 3rd. My first was 8,8 and second was 7,5. Midwife thinks this one is closer in size to my 1st so, back up in size again. My friend has 2 and she had a c-section 1st with a9,2 but, gave birth naturally after that with one exactly same weight. Try not to worry :-) if its any consolation, it was easier for me personally giving birth to the larger of the two and I'm not a big girl (5"3) labour dust your way ******************

    Thank you guys! I'm slowly getting my hopes back up! It just gets so tiresome the last weeks wondering when they are going to decide to come! Labor dust to you as well @jennys3rd ********** :)

    My oldest was due 4/15 and had her 4/9,,(csec) she was about 7lbs 6oz. My second was due 5/15, I had her 5/20(csec also and I argued for later) she was 6lbs 13oz
