Shoulder Dystocia - big baby

Lauren

Has anyone been told that they MAY have a big baby and the precautions of shoulder dystocia based on the weight they gained?

I'll be 38 weeks Saturday, and I am getting an US next Wednesday to guess the size of the baby. At my last appt, the doctor said my stomach didn't look big, and neither did my baby (based on visually looking at me).

I feel like they have me upset about the baby being too big, when they haven't even measured him!

I've gained 40lbs... 😳😫😔
