Big baby?

Question

Am 38 weeks . Ftm. My doctor says my babygirl is about 8lbs "Big Baby" . I had an ultrasound last week she told me my baby was about 7lbs 6oz . That i wasnt going to have a big baby. Now my doctor wants me to think about having a c/s . 
!!!

Answer

I'm 37 weeks and my ultrasound on Tuesday gave me a current est weight of 7lbs 7ounces. CS never came out of my doctors mouth. Anything is possible and don't let anyone tell you can't. My grandma gave birth to 4 kids all over 11 lbs with no meds.

Answer

That's absurd. Trust your body.

Answer

They are just guessing at the weight, do not be bullied in to a csec. They were completely off for all 3 of my sons. At least attempt labor before going for surgery.

Answer

My baby was over 8lbs and I was able to deliver without a c-section... don't let you talk into one wen you don't want to

Answer

Ultrasounds and measurements can easily be off. At my 38 week appt they were predicting my boy would be between 9-10lbs. My husband was a 10lb baby, so I wasn't super surprised, but I was concerned. I went into labor several days after that appt at 39w1d and delivered a 7lb1oz boy.

Answer

At my 40 week my baby measured 9lbs and 11oz she weighed 9 lbs and 13 oz born at 41 weeks and a day by c section. She was also sunny side up and there wasn't any more room for her to flip around. And she was sleepy from long laboring
