So, I'm sitting on the couch last night just kind of thinking about things....and then it hit me.....
Our baby is a huge boy and his head is ginormous....and it's going to have to come out one way or another....and that scares the crap out of me!!!!
When you have them naturally, does it really feel like you are being shredded apart??? Be honest....I want to know....
LOL I'm pregnant with our first baby and I think about things like that all the time. I mean, I know I'm pregnant and I know that there's going to be a baby here... but sometimes it really hits me! =)

I think that every pregnant women has that thought at one time or another. But the baby will come out and any pain will be a memory faster than you think.
I refuse to raise SHEEPLE. Instead, I prefer to raise INDEPENDANT, STRONG WILLED, BRAVE people.
lol, my son was a big boy also. they measured him at 10 pounds 2 weeks before I had him, which was about a monthbefore my due date. I was sooooo scared. he ended up being only 8lb 12 oz ...BIG difference than what I was expecting lol
My nephew's head was so big, he set the record at the hospital. My SIL had him vaginally and she is fine. Don't worry! LOL
Yep that happened to me too, just all of the sudden you're like SHIT I have to push that outta where?!!!!!!!! Don't worry it's not as bad as it sounds lol.
Yes it does feel like that LOL and all over again the first time you have sex after having a baby!
Nope.
How do you know the size? U/S can be off. I don't stress about it.
I LOVED giving birth, even pushing out my 9.1lb, 21 1/2 inch long daughter. I was in the perfect position to give birth and have gravity work with me... everything went smoothly and easily and I never experienced the "ring of fire".
It'll hurt for a minute, but then it'll be over. I'd much rather have a vaginal birth than a c-section. : ) Follow the signals your body is giving you and just push through the pain. (It'll feel like you have to take the biggest poop of your life, but then the baby comes and it's so rewarding.)
as far as the ultrasounds go, I get them at every visit here (in Germany) and they are very clear pictures (not like the fuzzy ones I have seen from the states)....and believe me....he's huge and has a big head (his daddy has a big head as well...lol)
Quoting celticreverie:
