Help... Baby too big? - Is scan/induction necessary?

[GregMonarche]

I had 1 OB say I better book in for a c/s from the scan showing a "big baby", and another say that I was risking my baby's life by going overdue. I went 11 days post EDD and had my VBAC with a 4kg baby. Not too big in the end.

Endangering baby's life... LOL. How would they even know, since they scare everyone into not going full term!? Since they've been advising it now for decades, there's probably no statistics to base the fantasy on anyway.

4kg... How ever did you manage... (Yeah right.) You do know he'll now be using YOU as an example to con any other of those "geriatric mothers" he meets into induction:

Dr: "Miss Jones, I knew a mother in her 40s who insisted in going into labour naturally. She went nearly two weeks over her due date - and the baby was a HUGE 4kg! It could have been a disaster!"

(Translation: I don't want to get called in at 3am - and that mother and baby were completely healthy with zero complications.)

Mother: "Wow. Really!? How dare I interfere with your early morning golf game. Better go ahead and book me in. What time suits YOU best, Dr?"
