Theresa's Stories- Many 9+ lbs Babies!- Hospital and Home

I have had seven children, four of whom were over nine pounds - my first was 9 lbs 6 oz and I was told that I would probably need a c-section...but I ended up having her vaginally! They did do a routine episiotomy, which I did not need for the other three.
 
My third was 9 lbs 3 oz.
My fourth was 9 lbs 8 oz.
My sixth was 9 lbs 8 oz. born at home - ALOT easier than the three born in the hospital because I was on my knees and not on my back.

I am 5'3.
 
I do not have their head sizes, as all of their baby books are packed away, but know that all of them had very large heads compared to my eight pounders - 14 inches were probably the average size. All were 20' long and above.
 
All of my pregnancies were normal, complication free. I have just struggled with my sciatica acting up when I am overly active.
 
I am pretty confident when it comes to birth...now. However, with my first I was afraid when they mention a possible c-section because I wanted a natural birth. I was very glad to have been able to deliver vaginally with my first and go on to birth all of them vaginally. Some never have that chance.
 
My recoveries have all been very good and I have been up and around fairly quickly with all of them.
