It's not a VBAC,  but it is  an Inspiring story of a natural delivery of a Very Large Baby.   Fortunately for her, the u/s underestimated the weight, or she might have had the providers bullying her into c/s. Wishing all you VBAC hopefuls the best. Trust your instincts and carefully weigh (no pun intended)the info if providers tell you your baby is too big to push out.

Hi Elaine.

That is amazing!  Hopefully that inspires women who are told that their babies are too big for them to have a vaginal birth.  Thank you for sharing!

I saw this article as well and was inspired! That is one very large baby! My best friend's boyfriend was also a very large baby, almost 12 lbs. He was the only baby that his mother not only delivered vaginally, but with no anesthesia as well! It's amazing what the female body can accomplish when allowed to do what it's meant to do.
