Afraid to give birth to 11 lb baby

S

Hello!

So three weeks ago my OB had us scheduled for an ultrasound and the baby was measuring 6.7 lbs, big. So I asked about possibilities of ultrasound being wrong and they mentioned 15% higher or lower but we would perform another ultrasound to see if it lines up. So today at 36 weeks we had another ultrasound and baby is measuring 8.5 lbs!!!!!!!!!!! My first born was born at 41 weeks at 8.4lbs!!!!

I’m very nervous at the thought of delivering such a heavy baby... can anyone comment on delivering babies 9 lbs or higher? Or if they got induced early because of it, etc!
