That doesn't sound terrible, no. Possibly you need to eat smaller, more frequent meals. What are your morning fastings like? Iirc, those are more telling.

Morning fastings are 80-95.

I think if the doctor could get her out with a little tugging, manually, in lithotomy, that's not a true case of dystocia. Just "sticky shoulders." Also, the weight of the baby isn't the main thing. Fat is squishy. It's about the size of the head vs. shoulders.

I was in a semi-upright position. She was only stuck for like 20-30 seconds. I guess I did not know the true meaning of shoulder dystocia!
