inducing

just a question.  at what point will a doctor induce?  im only 33 weeks but I was at the doctors this morning and she informed me by my last two ultrasounds they have calculated a rough weight and length of baby since im so big.  baby is already measuring at 20inch long and between 6.2- 6.8 pounds.   she wants to to go complete full term.  by the time the baby comes out hers going to be like 14 pounds and 25 inch long or something.  is it even physically safe for me to give birth to a toddler or should she be checking to see if my duedate changed?

If it helps any..I gave birth to my son (2 weeks late) and he was measuring big in the ultrasound also. He ended up being 9lbs 11 oz 22 in long. And that was a vaginal birth so it can be done with big babies lol

They won't have you deliver naturally you would have to have a x section but she will probably see how far you are measuring full term and induce you once you measure 38 or 40 weeks
