Induction Question *long post*

Tee • 💙 11/2/2009 💙 12/17/2019 Expecting Feb 2022

Hey all! So I am having a relatively healthy and low risk pregnancy. Except for the fact that my baby is consistently measuring 3 weeks over in size.. both with external measurement as well as ultrasound. My dr is a little concerned about this and is going to have me do a 37 week growth scan. He said if at that point he’s already “big” (whatever that means) that he wants to discuss induction. He said there’s more risk than reward with me trying to push out a 10/11 lb baby. My S.O is a pretty big guy (football player) and he was 11.6 when he was born 🥴. I am a little scared of being induced and want my body to get into labor on its own.. but I don’t want to risk having too big of a baby and wind up having a difficult labor or end up having to get a csection because I let him get too big. What are your guys’ thoughts on this? Moms who have done both induction and let your body go into labor by yourself was one easier than the other??
