[VENT] Being sent for a scan to check baby's size.....

[Shanti]

Thanks for the support everyone

I had the scan the other day, and yes it shows bub is measuring 2 weeks ahead and that it is approx 3.5kg already BUT that is +/-500g so it could only be 3kg now.....so yeah, I'm not letting it bother me, it's just an 'estimate' after all..... even the OB I saw at the appointment last week was really relaxed about it all (more so than my MW I think!!) and said not to worry, as DD was 8pds 1 so I must make big babies although I don't think 8pds1 is big??

Anyway, whatever size it is, I will PUSH it out come hell, rain or shine!!!!!!!!!! I'm one determined woman!! Just hoping I don't go past dates like last time

hi shanti, i just wanted to tell you my story to lift your confidence a bit
ds1 was 10lbs3oz. ds2 was measuring ahead- i looked huge to look at. sent for sizing scans at 37wks- they said he would be between 9 and 10 pounds, i was induced at 40wks as they did not want me to go over dates in case he was a whopper. he came out as 8lbs3oz- so a whole 2 pounds smaller than ds1!

Thanks Ginger, just read this now

I'm still pregnant.... not worried about bubs' size though..... just really want to meet my baby!!! Bring on labour have an OB appt tomorrow but they don't want to discuss induction, so that's good!! I'm only 4 days over.
