34&1 & tired of being pregnant

Its my first child and even though he is my first he is a big baby. doc says might be close to 8lbs when delivered.I'm already feeling sharp pains in my butt and vagina(sorry I'm a very straight forward person) and feel like I'm ready to have him now. we all know he's coming before his due date, is there anyway that a doc would induce me early for having a big baby because that scares me...?

Congrats on you daughter, I'm just a little curious did you do a vaginal birth or a c-section?

My first was over 8lbs and considered average weight. I was over 10lbs and full term. It surprises me they consider your baby to be big if he's due to be that weight at full term. Average it supposed to be 7.5lbs... My daughter was a week early but that was due to complications not related to her weight.  Take each day as it comes and try not to worry x
