Growth Scans: How big is your baby?

Liz

Had my growth scan today at 35+2 and baby is measuring at 6 pounds and 12 ounces. I have GD and we have been worried about baby’s size. This puts him about 88th percentile which is bigger than my previous two babies but not huge. So OB is going to leave my scheduled induction date at 12/7 (I’ll be 39+2) and we’re hoping baby comes a little sooner on his own. I’m 1.5cm dilated and 50% effaced, which I know doesn’t actually mean that much but at least my body is getting ready. I’ve never actually gone into labor on my own, was induced with my previous two, so we’ll see what happens. If you’ve had a growth scan, how big is your baby estimated right now? Are you dilated at all?
