I don't really think it was that bad, but then again, I've never pushed out a 7lb er so who knows. But......what's so wrong with big babies? Back before the c section rate was alarmingly high, women had them all the time, no problem. Big babies mean more baby chub to love!

That bubba was 11lb 3oz of Charlie Brown head through my ever so tiny special place. And even though they say big babies sleep better that is a lie too. Big babies are HUNGRY! All. The. Time. <BR/><BR/>When hubby finally convinced me to revisit the pregnancy thing I begged and pleaded for them to induce me early as to prevent a toddler walking out of my uterus. Thankfully God heard my prayers and I had an emergency induction at just under 35 weeks. He was 8 lbs 10 oz - 5+ weeks early!! I still shudder at what he could have been going full term!!<BR/><BR/>So there is my happiness and love post to make you feel better.
