Asthma during last week

Scheduled induction 11/16!!! Went yesterday for my 38 weeks appt.. Had the 'bloody show' Friday night but no dilation.. The sucky thing is my asthma started acting up Thursday so nebulizer treatments & steroid for the last week.. Only good thing is maybe she'll gain an oz or 2 since she's 6lbs 3oz .. I'm totally happy with a close to 7lb baby lol

By - so add about  1/2 - 1 pound to the weight they gave you. Currently I'm 38 weeks and they said baby is about 5 pounds. So actually she's 6 pounds. Which is normal for me,  all of my children we're small at birth. Anything under 8 pounds is considered small.

Off by + or -? They've been saying 'she'll be on the small side'..  I didn't get any premiee clothes figured she would be in them but a week at best .. They told my sister my nephew was going to be small & he wound up 8.3. At best it's a guess what the weight is,  she's Been curled in a ball the whole pregnancy, I don't have not one pic of her face.  How cab they measure something if they can't see it?  Thank you!  Good luck sweetie!
