Another big baby

Jaqueline

Had a growth ultrasound yesterday at 38 weeks and baby girl was measuring 9lbs 12oz. My son was 9lbs 11oz when he was born (he’s now 5) on his due date but I had gestational diabetes with him. Luckily I don’t this time around but she’s still measuring big.

When I had my son, I had a hard time pushing (pushed for 2 hours) and his shoulder got stuck under my pubic bone. It was pretty traumatic having a bunch of nurses jumping on my stomach and people running in and out of the room. Everything turned out fine and we were both okay.

So since that happened with my son, my dr told me to start thinking about having a c-section since I’m measuring 4 weeks ahead and baby is measuring big too. I feel like she’s kinda leaving it up to me and she’s not super worried because I don’t have gd this time. So I’m torn on either trying to have her naturally with the risk of her getting stuck or just going for the c-section.
