BIG Boy.

Just had my 3D ultrasound. My baby boy is adorable. But very large. 3 pounds 8  ounces already. I'm a pretty small in stature. I should still be able to deliver vaginally right? If I go full term that puts him around 10 pounds. Scary. Maybe I'm just being a paranoid FTM.

My uncle was almost 11 pounds when he was born and my grandma delivered vaginally. It's possible, though it could be a challenge. He also was not her first baby. Breathe deep and remember that your medical staff will be there to help and he may even come before the full 40 weeks.
