Big baby! Macrosomia

Roxanne

Got our growth ultrasound today at 33w5d and baby boy is measuring big! He is an est. 5lbs 11oz which is equivalent to around 35w2d. His weight puts him in the 80th percentile and abdominal circumference was 92nd percentile! His head was measuring 36w1d 😳 His 17-month-old brother was 10lbs 3oz when he was born, and we ended up needing an emergency C-Section bc his head was too big and he got stuck. His head has always been in the 90-some percentile. Looks like baby brother is following suit! I've decided to schedule a C-section with that in mind and the early issues we had (hemorrhage and hematoma). Hoping to get one for 38 weeks so he doesn't get too big (and I'm ready to be done 😂).
