My new hero

http://news.yahoo.com/nearly-14-pound-baby-boy-born-des-moines-141125407.html

 Cliffsnotes version: Girlfriend gave birth to a baby who was 3 ounces shy of 14 pounds.  No c-section.  No epidural.  15 months ago she had a 12 pounder.

I think I'll go home and light a candle in honor of her vagina.

  • Holy.Crap.

    All I can say is I'm guessing the 12 pounder "paved the way" for the 14 pounder.  Then again, my sister went from a relatively pain-free 6-something pounder to an 8 pounder and was calling on Jesus and all that was holy to make it stop.  and she had an Epi :)

  • Was she checked for GD?

    Holy hell, I'd die.

    I was thinking the same thing.  That is a big baby.  As painful as it must have been, she may have been better off going natural because she could feel it more when pushing.  IDK?
