My ob didn't measure. Not once. And he's not a slack ob; he's a fantastic ob.

He just had a feel and told me she'd be between 8.5 and 9 pounds and to buy 000 clothes. And he was bang on the money at 8 pounds 10 ounces (3.9kg).

So I'd say ignore them too.

He was slightly concerned by my foot size and the correlation between this and pelvis size given that the baby was going to be quite big (for me) but certainly didn't suggest a sizing scan or inducing.
