All those can be off. However I have had a 7# 12 oz baby, 8# 11 oz baby, 10# 2 oz baby and a 9 # baby. And this one is looking to be in the 9 # baby. All natural and in fact the last two were born very fast. Ask your Dr what he thinks of your hip size from an internal examination.
I am 37 weeks 4 days and at my ultrasound this week my son measured just over 8 pounds! I also measured 34 weeks by the doctor and have only gained 12 pounds. I hope this chunkerbutt comes soon!
I hope I don't need a c-section. Only get 6weeks maternity leave at a job that requires a lot of movement and pushing heavy carts :/.
But yes, I was amoung the clouds when the tech told me he was healthy. That's all that matters.
My daughter was 11 pounds. Sooooo glad I had a c section. But she lost all her baby fat in the first year. :)
But now my doctor says this one is probably going to be bigger. :(
But hey, as long as their healthy. Right?! :)
You don't have to get one my midwife told me one of her patience a while ago had a natural birth to a 13 pound baby and didn't tear at all! :O ... you'll be fine ypu do what you need to do, no one can make you get one if you don't want it.
