Hi Grake,

I was told at the 36wk scan my baby was in the 90th percentaile. They then told me they are accurate give or take about 500gr I think. Anyhoo, freaked me out. My Ob was really encouraging though. Told me I could do it! Anyway, I was induced at 40w+6. After 8 hours, strong regular contractions I was only 3 cm dilated and DS was starting to show signs of feotal distress. Ended up having a c-section and DS was 4.52kilos. However, my problem was that ds couldn't get his head down into my pelvis to cause me to dilate. Noah did not have a big head (50th%), turns out I am fairly fine boned and have a small pelvis. If my pelvis hadn't been a problem I would have had a damn good go at pushing my little man out. I think that if you listen to your midwives and do all the things you can to help your bubs get down and out, size is irrelevant. My mum had more problems delivering me at 8 pound than she had delivering my brother at 9.5pound.
