Vbac with big baby ?

Hello 😊. I had an emergency c section with my first who was 10.3lbs and was in the 99th percentile. His size did not cause the c section btw.
However I’m being told that because my second already measuring in the 97th percentile my delivering doc will recommend a c section if he’s larger than 9-10lbs…. I know second babes tend to be bigger. ….
I guess I wanna know if anyone had a successful vbac with a big ol baby ?

Following this as also interested!I also had an emergency section with 11lbs boy.

I also had an emergency C-section with my first at fully dilated due to her being in a bad position, she was unexpectedly large at 9lbs 8… I had a successful VBAC with forceps in March with my son who was 9lbs 9 (97th percentile) it’s 100% possible to have a successful VBAC with a large baby and don’t let anyone tell you you can’t try! Obviously there are risks to attempting a VBAC with a large baby however there also many risk to having a C-section so you have to do what feels right for you and stand your ground! I had my son at 39+4 but had agreed with my consultant to have an earlier induction on my due date due to the size of baby had I not gone into spontaneous labour

Induction?

Anyone been induced before? Was it more painful? Better than thought? Worse than thought? Worth it? Thoughts?

Worth the wait and pain. Baby girl arrived at 7:15 this am weighing 7lbs 6oz. She is so calm and chill.

Induction or c section?

As a last resort, would you rather be induced or have a planned c section?

Really not liking the thought of being induced from people’s experiences I’ve read!

Growth scan

So had my 28 week midwife appointment- all good but after measuring bump- I’m now waiting on a scan within a few days as bump is measuring small I’m not worried as I am guessing a tape measure is hardly accurate but
For anyone who has been in a similar position- what was the outcome after the scan? Was the baby on the smaller side ?
Was baby measuring normal?

Thanks
