BIG BABY!!!!


so I've been to docs several times n each time I'm being told he gonna be big. I'm being monitored by 2 diff doc at diff offices. Each time I get a sono the tech asks how much was ur biggest baby? I've passed my sugar test also.. I just went to doc yesterday I'm 33w tomorrow and he is almost 6pds. They r sendn me on the 7th to get the nst test done that monitors his movements which he moves all the time. My reg OB says if I wait till due date of 8/19 he might be too big to pass thru n I might need emergency c-section which I don't want. She has his head n belly measures 35w. I also go for a consult on the 11th to discuss inducing me and when. I asked doc what she think his weight would be and she said min 9pds or more if I go til due date smh. Im trying to stay calm but idk what I shld do all my other kids were natural n I want this to be too. My biggest was 8pd 2oz with np. Could they weight be wrong??? Anyone else going thru this?

My daughter was 10 lbs, 2 Oz and I had a vaginal delivery with no problems. I just made 34 weeks but my stomach measures at 35 weeks in which it seems to always measure a week ahead and my baby is at 5 lbs so far. I would just relax and not worry about it too much.

When it come to sonograms they in my option are wrong. Always add a lb or 2.remember sonograms are just an estimate

I don't know why your doctor is saying that. My first was 8lb &15oz and my second child was 8lb & 14oz. I told my midwife  for this thrid child i was worried caz my first 2 were big. But she said that those are normal size babies. AND mind you I gave birth natural for both and I'm 5'1. I'm petite.
