Possible Induction
Sorry my post is so long!
Yesterday at my ultrasound (33w3d) I was told my baby was weighing 4lbs 5oz but was measuring in the 15th percentile. At my ultrasound on 6/15 (29w4d) she was weighing 2lbs 15oz and measuring in the 20th percentile. Well my doctor told me yesterday that I will have another ultrasound 8/9 (I'll be 37w3d) and if my baby is measuring below the 10th percentile then I will be induced that day. My due date is 8/27.
Now I'm really confused because according to this app and other <a href="https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.glow.android.nurture">pregnancy apps</a> that I have, my baby is measuring average weight. I'm a very small woman (as of yesterday I only weigh 117.3) and my birth weight was 7lbs 6oz and my child's father was 6lbs 6oz and my doctor keeps saying that she doesn't expect me to have a big baby maybe about 6lbs.
I haven't had any complications during my pregnancy, expect some light bleeding during my first trimester which they determined was due to my cervix being really soft, but other than that I've passed every test I've taken so far, my baby is very active, she's head down, I haven't seen any blood or had any fluids leaking.
My question is, would you all go ahead and schedule to be induced, ask your doctor more questions about baby being in the low percentiles, or fight to not be induced? Any advice is greatly appreciated!
