Big baby girl!

Hello all! I had an ultrasound yesterday and my baby girl weights 4 lb already and I am only 30 weeks, now I am scared she is gonna be big!!! Also, she is breech...i feel that the chances I will get a C-section are increasing and I don't want it....

My baby was 3 lbs 14 oz at my 30 week ultrasound, so JUST shy of 4 lbs. They put him in the 75th percentile, which is about 8.5 lbs at full term. That's a good healthy size!

I had 3 kids. First weighed 7lb, second weighed 8lb 3oz and third weighed 9lb 6.5 oz. My third baby was the easiest and quickest birth. Never had any tears either. The heavier baby was more weight on my hips and back but for labour he cane out quicker,i put it down to being squishier lol :) thats only an estimation with weight. If the doctor is worried towards the end then that is when you both come up with a different plan for labour. Cross that bridge if and when you come to it :) enjoy your pregnancy x

Don't worry about her being breech this early. Everyone got me all concerned because my baby was breech at 30 and also at 33. Except my doctor, she said not to even think about it until 36-37 weeks, he will turn. And she was right, he turned a couple days before my 36 week appointment. Now I'm just hoping he stays that way. I'm just past 37 weeks now and so far so good.
