Of course the Dr would say no. A C-section is surgery and intended to be used as a last resort. A 9lb baby is not really a last resort. Plus whether you believe it or not the healing process is longer and harder after a C-section a vaginal delivery is easier.

Are you saying that you prefer major surgery over a vaginal birth? I know that docs are doing it more, but it much harder on the body. There is a longer recovery. I can't see why anyone would choose it.
I had a 9 pounder, (#4) and it wasn't that different than the others--I am a small woman. The hardest part was that he was facing the wrong way (posterior). That slowed him down, and made childbirth more difficult, but that would have been the case even if he had been smaller.
Besides, it is really not the weight of the baby that makes the birth difficult, its the size shape and presentation of the head which is the biggest part of the baby. Also the mother's anatomy is a factor.
Believe me, the second labor is not usually as long as the first.

You can not ask for a c-sec it's major surgery and is only resorted to when you or the baby's life is at risk. I had a still-born when they found out the heartbeat had already stopped because there was a knot in the cord (I was 37.5 weeks) I had to be induced and went though 12 hours of labour. I'm 4 months pregnant now and my doc. has set me date for me to come in early @ 37 weeks to be induced but will not schulde a C-sec. unless there is a medical reason to do so. Which is fine by me all I went through to get and stay preg. the last thing i want is to be all cut up and in pain. with a newborn. Count your blessing that you baby was born healthy many of us woman ttc would love to be in your shoes.

Women all the time deliver huge babies, our bodies are generally designed to do so. And go right back together again. Sections are dangerous, for you and baby. Fatalities from sections for you AND baby are can be as common as 1 in 2000, even in this country. There are many reasons why doctors say no, and why they certainly shouldnt give in to the pressure of their patients.
I know its rough, but its best for you and baby to deliver vaginally.
Labored with broken water for 43 1/2 hours. 28 hours natural, the rest with a spinal. I know what hell is, trust me.

When my pregnancy hit the 42 week mark I asked my Dr. to do a c-section. But she said no. They induced my labor instead. Now on my second I am trying to be natural.

well hun that sounds painful but I delivered my 10lb 9oz son vag- and as for your question, the DR is not going to let you do a C-section just because you want it.. if you are capable of delivering vag they dont like to do the c-section.. more complications and recovery time are also factors of c-sections.

my dr wanted to give me one after my son got stuck under my pelvis and i couldn't push him out. the anesthesiologist had gone home for the day so they couldn't give me one. i ended up having a 3rd degree epsiotomy, they cut all the way into my thigh to rip him out. so i would've loved one. i'm going to ask for one to be considered as a precaution this time around.

why would anyone ask for a c section? it is major surgery, a doctor would not give one unless medically necessary
