35+2 Big baby?

Question

I had my 34 Week appt today, got to have our final ultrasound and our little guy is measuring to be 6lbs 15oz already! I'm so worried he is gonna grow too big for me to have naturally. Any positive stories or experiences you have in a situation like this please feel free to comment them below. First time momma freaking out here lol

Answer

Your body was made to birth your baby! No matter how big or small. Have faith in that and don’t let it scare you! :)

Answer

I'm 5"2 and my last baby was 9lb 5. My labour was fairly quick, 8.5 hours from the first ever contraction to birth ( about 4 hours active labour) and although it hurt I don't think her size made any difference really.

Answer

Don’t worry, you can still push the little one out. Know one petite lady that pushed out a baby weighing 8lbs 3oz. Your body will work wonders for you, also if pelvis alows

Answer

I had my 34 week appt yesterday and in the UK we dont get another scan..Not sure how they know how much baby is already but we get belly measured and i am measuring really big. It does worry me

Answer

My first was 9 1/2 lbs. i had a relatively easy labor and delivery (less than 12 hours from start to finish) although I did tear a little. Growth scans are not very accurate so I wouldn’t depend on them too much. Baby’s positioning is more important than size. If they are not positioned well they can’t descend into the birth canal as easily. Check out www.spinningbabies.com
