No, never had anyone try and predict birth weight/size at any scan. For either baby. And I wouldn't pay any attention to it if they did, US is notoroiously inaccurate when it comes to gestamating weight. Plus, there are about 7 different planes they can take the baby's head size on, so you would need to know which they are using to guage head size.
DD1 was an ECS, so can't help there, but she was deemed "right size for dates" throughout the pregnancy and was 8lbs5.
DD2 was a VBAC, and I had 2nd degree tearing, due to the ventouse extraction. She was 7lbs7. I had no pain at all after with the tearing, it was internal, they stitched it and it was like it never happened. I was paranoid about it too, but I went to my 6 week check up and the GP checked the stitches/healing etc and her remarks were "Beautiful. If a vagina could ever be called beautiful, yours would be. They did a perfect job."
