dean Posted November 30, 2007 Report Share Posted November 30, 2007 My wife is going in for a C-section on December 5. The reason being is because she has become huge during pregnancy. Of course, it is always pointed out that she has a large farang husband (height; six feet/weight 240 pounds). Have other large westerners on this board gone through the same thing? At least I have my son being born on the King's birthday as a sign of good luck. I may have to change my plans on having him become the next Tiger Woods and settle on John Daly. If I don't post much the next couple of months, it means I can't get to my internet shop on Chiang Mai (or I'm too tired). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shygye Posted November 30, 2007 Report Share Posted November 30, 2007 Just make sure they do the bikini incision. I have seen BGs with the vertical scar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CTO Posted December 1, 2007 Report Share Posted December 1, 2007 article in Bangkok Post this week that far too many C Sections being undertaken. Check with a few doctors to see what the child weight is and if it's dangerous for normal delivery with wifes normal size. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.. Posted December 1, 2007 Report Share Posted December 1, 2007 Sounds like it. My kids were 3.640Kg and 3.660Kg (~8lb) at birth and were delivered naturally. Wife was pretty average Chinese/Thai size (not small, not big) Cheers, SD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bust Posted December 1, 2007 Report Share Posted December 1, 2007 Whatever happened to letting nature take it's cause. If there are concerns about size they can always perform an apesiotomy.......you can even request an extra stich if you so desire.. Don't underestimate your girls ability to deliver naturally. A lot of the time they perform C-section purely for their own convenience and has nothing to do with the birth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shygye Posted December 1, 2007 Report Share Posted December 1, 2007 Studies have found that an apesiotomy does more harm than good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dean Posted December 1, 2007 Author Report Share Posted December 1, 2007 She has three other children, by another marriage. All were born naturally. She says she is a lot bigger now than she was with the other three pregnancies. All of her friends tell her she is extremely big for her size (around 5 feet, 3 inches and normal weight for that size). This will be our only child (not counting the other 3 by another marriage), so I am leaving it to her to make the decision. My only concern is the babies health and whatever way brings him out safely, I'm good to go with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
