Parents, What Was It Like Giving Birth To A Freaking Huge Baby?

Nine pounds, ten pounds, eleven pounds, twelve pounds...

Anyone who has given birth has done something difficult and amazing. But today, we want to hear from people in a fairly rare group — those who gave birth to big ol' babies weighing nine, ten, eleven, or more pounds.

If you’re one of those people, we have questions…and want to hear your stories!

For those of you who delivered vaginally, what was the experience like? How long did it take? Were there complications? Was it painful? And how did your body feel afterward?

If you delivered via C-section, what was that experience like?

Did you know your baby was going to be this big? Or was the weight your obstetrician predicted way off?

And lastly, is there anything interesting about giving birth to an oversized baby that people might not know?
