    Thanks for the replies everyone, I'm going out of my mind with worry that I won't be able to get this little one out so that we will both be safe..
    Never had any complications during birth with either DD or DS, but I'm thinking every worse possibility this time round..
    My 12wk scan, certain parts of "Boo" were slightly smaller then 12wks & the same at my 20wk scan..
    I've had mixed comments from various people, either I'm too small for how far Boo is, or I'm too big.. That doesn't help the situation or my thoughts..

    I hope I can have another scan before Boo arrives & I''d love for the sonographer to guess Boo's birth weight..

    Has anyone had a sonographer guess the weight & how accurate were they?

    I had a friend having scans every fortnight to check on her twins progress & they were pretty right with their weights, but I've also seen alot of women on here who've had the scans completely wrong, so they definetely aren't reliable!

    As someone has already said, its not very often at all that your body will make a baby you can't birth. Its not the way mother nature works. Obviously there are exceptions, but you've birthed 2 very healthy sized bubba's already without any complications, so there is no reason you can't birth a third.

    There are quite a few babies born on here recently that were 10lb & more. I know someone whose DS was 13lb born & she birthed him vaginally.

    Have faith in your body It does know what its doing!

    My 2nd was lighter than my 1st and they have the same dad. She was also a longer labour and has generally been very different to her big sister.

    That also makes me feel better alioops!
    I'm hoping "Boo" won't get over the 10lb mark, but if that happens to be the case then ah well, as long as I don't tear!

    hun you will be fine!! I had the docs telling me to get ready for a ceser but I was so adamant I would be FINE. Ash was 11 pounds, 39cm head.

    You have to have faith in your body!! It is made to birth babies.

    Don't ask them to guess! They were ALWAYS wrong with me. Jaidan was heavier then they guessed, Chase was heavier, Ashton was supposed to be a 9lbs baby, so they were a bit off on that one
