I think you guys already know that praying about it is the best thing to do to help with your decision.<br />We will continue to keep you in our prayers.<br /><br />My thoughts, before I read the other comment, don't be afraid to wait. He will come when he is ready and you are capable of "birthing" a big baby. I was 10 pounds 5 ounces. My mom said my shoulders where the biggest part of me (like a linebacker) but she did it...I'll disgust you by telling you she did it naturally too. Now you and I know there's no need in all of that, so best wishes in whatever you do. May he arrive safe and healthy.One Happy Familyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10055903187197955914noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21677150.post-53943920975794110772009-08-09T20:26:15.748-05:002009-08-09T20:26:15.748-05:00I don't know if you are fishing for suggestion...I don't know if you are fishing for suggestions, but since you blogged about it, I figured you couldn't get too mad! :) I would go ahead and be induced if I were you. I was (sadly) induced both times. With Lawton, I was five days late and I have no idea when he would have finally decided to come. (he was 8 lb. 13 oz. and I pushed for almost an hour and a half after laboring all day.) I was scheduled to be induced with Carolina three days early because my doctor was going to be out of town after my due date and the way things were looking, she was going to be late, too. It was really important to me for my doctor to deliver Carolina because she had just had her first child weeks before Lawton was born. It was much easier with Carolina, but she was only 7 lb 7 oz. I only had to push 20 minutes and labored for about five hours! IF it is important for you to definitely have your doctor deliver Braden, and to hopefully TRY to avoid a hard labor, I would be induced. IF you were asking . . . :) Good luck! I know you will make the right choice!LBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06010547143270786257noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21677150.post-19178796560086103192009-08-09T06:48:47.338-05:002009-08-09T06:48:47.338-05:00Praying for you all as you make this decision!Praying for you all as you make this decision!Jason, Betsy, Jacksonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17945430887031609853noreply@blogger.com
