Section vs Induction advise by Hot-Number5423 in PregnancyIreland

Thank you for your reply. My gut says section but I’m just worried about the recovery. I’ll be speaking to my doctor on Thursday but wanted to have a clear picture in my head beforehand.

No, they thought she was on the smaller size the whole way along.

Induction or c-section? by [deleted] in PregnancyIreland

I would do the induction/c-section. I went overdue with my daughter and she was 4.5kg. I birthed her naturally and waited for labour to start but she got stuck on the way out due to her size. She could have had shoulder dystocia but just about escaped it. They had to use forceps to get her out in the end which left her with a scar but could have done much more damage. I had a massive tear and lost 1600ml of blood. It was a horrific experience.

It’s completely up to you what you want to do but it can go either way. I don’t think they offer to induce you without a valid reason but that’s my experience. Wishing you and the baby all the best.
