Baby measuring 2 weeks ahead. Vbac?

Question

I’m 33 weeks baby is measuring at 35 weeks. My doctor was all for a vbac till now. I’m small & petite so they are worried for me to push a big baby out. Did anyone else measure ahead and had a excess full vbac?

Answer

I would refuse a rcs due to a big baby! Number 1- size estimates are often very off. Number 2- big baby’s are born all the time.

Answer

I measured ahead with my vbac baby. My c section baby was 8lbs 5oz at 38 weeks, so I was induced the day after my due date for my vbac to avoid complications and large baby (I love my doctor for doing that, many doctors won't induce VBACs). Vbac baby was 8lbs 9oz. I'm due 12/23 and measuring ahead again and so far no mention of anything birth related. I want to go into labor on my own this time though, like I did with #1, since it's our last. From what I have read and understand, doctors vary greatly on how they handle VBACs.

Answer

A big baby isn't a reason to have a repeat section. Woman have big babies naturally all the time and there is no evidence supporting the need for a csection based on babies weight. Everyone pushed for me to do a repeat because my first was almost 10lb. Im due any day and trying for a VBAC and this guy definitely feels bigger
