What can happen now!!!!!! Please help me calm down!!! baby belly measures too big!!

Question

I just had my growth and position scan of 36 week(ryt now 37 weeks) and the tech said babies head and legs are all proportionate according to the 37w1d size but his belly measures bigger at 96th percentile( 2weeks ahead)...
He weighs 6.1 lbs though at 37w1d exactly..
Now I am freaking out will he get stuck while birth...! 
Will I end up in a csection( although I am not against it...all is well if my baby is healthy after birth)
Please share your experiences..

Answer

Just so you're aware, these are still estimates. There's no exact way to know what baby will be.

I'm sure baby will be fine, and if belly is big, they can assist in delivery.

Don't freak yourself out.

Answer

There's nothing to worry about. Babes belly was probably full.

Plus, those are just what they are - estimates.

Answer

They told my sister her baby was 9 lbs at 38 weeks. She was induced that day he was 7lbs

Answer

My baby's head was measuring huge compared to belly and legs and then the next scan all is normal again. Don't worry!

Answer

I had this same concern being that my baby measured 2wks she's my entire pregnancy. Out of 4 kids my biggest baby was 7.3lbs, I went for my last ultrasound at 39wks5days and she was measuring 8.5lbs, I was so scared and they told me they wouldn't consider induction unless I was a week over due. I was so mad, needless to say I had my baby at 1:51am early the next morning and she weighed 7.10lbs and I did not tear. Try not to freak out it's only an estimation

Answer

Just expect a bigger baby
