Sushee,

From 23w onwards, I was measuring between 3 - 4w ahead with Jacob. The OB estimated his birth weight to be around 9lb. He was born at almost 41w gestation, weighing 8lb 6oz.

Not once did the OB say to me that I needed to go onto a special diet in order to curb Jacob's growth, nor did he imply that I could not deliver vaginally (as it happened, I didn't, but that's another story!).

From what I can understand, the main thing is that the baby continues to grow and thrive in utero.......whether they are estimated to be big or small (extra emphasis on the word "estimated"!) isn't really a good reason for any special kind of diet unless there are other medical reasons (such as gestational diabetes)?

Just my thoughts anyway Sush!! I thought I'd share with you.......
