Well, you've made it through nine months of growing your little human only to discover that your baby isn't so little — turns out, according to your doctors, you're on track to deliver a baby whose poundage is in the double digits! But have no fear — plenty of women have delivered a nine-pound or even 10-pound baby and have lived to tell the tale . . . and commiserate with fellow mamas. So sit tight, and prepare for these 12 very real things that can happen when you give birth to a big baby.

Your doctor or midwife will ever so calmly freak out when they first realize how big that baby is.

There's a very good chance you could be induced.

No matter what your original plan was, at least one part of you is going to consider the drugs.

Everything your partner says in the delivery room will be wrong. Very wrong.

You're going to wish you had bigger hips for the first time in your entire life.

That baby will tear you a new one.

Be prepared for potentially 40-plus stitches and a 6-month healing process.

You might push for a few hours with zero progress only to have a C-section.

You're not going to instantly feel 10 pounds lighter.

You'll instantly hit Supermom status among all of your friends.

It will all be worth it.

You'll hold your little one's epic delivery over their head for the rest of their life.
