Yeah i measured a week ahead can't remember weight with my second and my doc kept a close eye on it she was born naturally 11 days early and was 8 pounds 12 ounces.. i couldn't imagine 11 pounds.. it doesn't sound like your past ultrasounds have been too far off so i don't see why the doc wouldn't be concerned.. i'm all for natural births but 8 pounds at 35 weeks seems to be a bit much.. just my opinion.:)

Hi mama I really wouldn't worry too much first of all ultra sounds are not very accurate the further into preg u get. I had one with my 1st wile in labor they said he was over 8lbs and was born 21 hrs later at 7lbs even. Also your body knows what it is capeable of and won't grow a baby it can't handle. Your baby will come when its ready. If you really want to look into natural induction methods. Massage, acupuncture, acupressure, ect. I would deffinately stay away from castor oil though I can't imagine anything worse than diarriea and comtractions.
So I have a quick ? For u if u don't mind. I had an ultrasound at 31 weeks 2 days and they have her weight at 4lbs 6ozs. Is that big? With my other 2 I didn't have late ultrasounds so I don't know but she feels huge! Thanks.

my husband said maybe we should change doc as our last wee girl got a bit stuck and she was induced early and was still 11lb she was smaller on her 34+ week us 6lb 6oz i had her with a different doc who does induce
i did not see this doc yet he left early but his staff told me he never induces but another doctor in his office said if it was up to her she would take me in at 38 weeks but she needs his go ahead thats why i have to go back in 2 weeks

Holy woman! lol! I would get a second opinion.. Especially with you having an 11 pound baby i can't believe your doc wouldn't be concerned!

Wait and see what that one says.  Maybe he won't grow too much between now and then :)

I'm sorry :(.  Hopefully this docs measurements are off on the low side.  We can hope anyway!  Are they going to recheck you before 40 weeks to see how much he has grown?
