YOUCH! If I got badly torn up by my youngest daughter at 8lb 12oz, I dont think I would survive a natural birth with a baby 10lbs BIGGER! My midwife doesn't even know if Im able to give birth naturally to this next little girl, who is supposely bigger then my last girl. My son was the first born but he was the SMALLEST of 7lb 10 oz, my first GIRL was 7lb 112 oz but she was a month EARLY. All 3 has riped me terribly.
