Having a big baby

Shelley • mom to a toddler
Just got home from my 37 week appointment. Last Friday I had an ultrasound so my Dr went over my results. The baby is in the 97th percentile for weight and says he wants to induce me in 2 or 2 and a half weeks because it's going to be a big baby. If he waits 2.5 weeks I'll be 39.5 weeks so that just seems crazy to me. Why wait till I'm already so far along?
