>she has told me that she is going in for an elective caesar at 37 weeks because her >partner is large, What is this GP smoking? I would be afraid if she were my GP. Who would elect to have this major surgery before even knowing what size her baby will be? My kids are always 8 plus pounds at 37 weeks, and I can't imagine their size if I ever went all the way to 40 weeks, but I would NEVER elect a c-section just because they are so big! As a dr. you would think she would realize that the human body can do amazing things and that she will most likely be able to handle birthing a baby even if it's 10 plus pounds. Haven't we been doing this for thousands of years? Melisa ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* Did you hear? Breast is Best!
