Positive Big baby birth stories, please!

I just had a vbac last Friday and he was 9lb 2oz... So not "huge" but I'm little at 5ft and a UK 8-10. I had a quick labour and pushed him out without pain relief (used gas and air during first stage of labour). He came out with hand at head so I had very very mild shoulder dystocia at the end. Was no big deal as they just flattened the bed and pushed my legs back and doctor delivered his arm first and he came out quickly. O had a second degree tear which needed stitches but its day 4 and I'm feeling fine.

Sounds very similar to my first's arrival. Well done!! xxx

i was measuring big at 37 weeks so had a scan they estimated baby 9lb 9oz

was induced a week later and was very happy with the whole process, had a relatively quick labour with only gas and air.

baby was 8lb 13oz in the end!

My son was 9lb 7oz and my daughter 9lb 14oz both labours were straightforward, fairly fast, no interventions and only gas and air. I only pushed for 4 mins with my daughter. Saying that I did tear both times, needed stitches and also had 2 hemmorages after both were born but no idea if that was to do with their size or the fact I had problems pushing out the placenta both times! xx
