Good experiences giving birth to a big baby (9+ lbs) vaginally?

My baby is measuring 8 lb 6 oz at 36+3. She's in the 98th percentile. My doctor is starting to talk about an early induction to avoid a C-section. I really don't want a C-section but I also don't want to be induced.

I was given the go ahead to do all the natural induction methods starting now (pumping colostrum, dates, tea, etc). I'm going to do my best to induce on my own.

I'd love to hear some positive vaginal birth stories of big babies!

I'm planning to go unmedicated as well.

I love this so much for you, stand strong on your wants! I'd recommend doing circuits as well, along with pelvic floor exercises/stretching.
