Chonky Baby - Vaginal Delivery or C Sect

I’m at 38 weeks. Went to check up recently and baby is weighing in at 3.7kg. Had scheduled a c section on 1st Feb as baby was breech before hitting 38 weeks. Now baby is in normal position. Doctor said able to do normal vaginal delivery, but there are risk upon delivery as birth canal might be too small for baby. If opt for vaginal delivery and things go south, might lead to having emergency c sect…. Should I go for the scheduled c-sect or try for vaginal delivery first? Don’t know which is best for me and baby :( #advicepls #firsttimemom

Choose what you feel best for your body. Ive given birth to 2 of my babies weighing 3.7kg & 3.8kg via normal vaginal delivery. Both experiencing a small tear but i believe the post labour pain & recovery is nothing compared to csect as its more of a major ops.

I did nothing for my 1st born coz i wasnt being informed of her weight during my checkups. And being a first time mum at that time, i didnt even know that i could actually ask for the est of baby weight. Lol. So it was a total surprise! 😅 But for my 2nd one, i did alot of walking and light stretching, yoga. You could also do some perineal massages weeks before labour to help prevent tearing.😊
