So last week my midwife said the baby was about 8 pounds. So all week I've worried as I read they grow a pound a week now. Today the midwife said he's about 8.5 pounds I'm 3cm dilated and my cervix is very soft, whatever that means. She said it felt like my plug is gone. I hope he comes soon I really don't want a 10 pound baby or a csection. They both scare me. This is my second child but it feels very different. I've googled about everything I can with little learned. I want to hold him but I'm a little scared I'll go into labor and not notice till it's active. If my water didn't break last time that's what would of happned.
