hey!

Just wanted to laet you know I am in a very similar situation, I am attempting to try for vaginal birth after a previous c section, and they dont like you trying if your baby is past "so big" due to pressure on the scar. And I am not allowed to go overdue what so ever either.

I had a growth scan at 34 weeks, and my baby measured 8.8 pounds, they told me he was the size of a 39 week baby at 34 weeks, with all his mmeasurements combined. But they did say it can be inaccurate by half a kilo either way, so he could be half a kilo less or half a kilo more, either way if I am allowed to go to 40 weeks he will be a big baby. Which doesnt surprise me as my 1st was 10lbs 2 oz.

It is very confronting finding out the size of your baby this far along... its really only a ball path figure anyhow.. but it gets you wondering about things. I had to have a c sect due to bubbys size 1st time around, and probably will have to this time I see my OB tuesday, I am going to discuss my concerns and fears with him of not wanting another c sect and see if I cant attempt vaginal delivery, maybe you should do the same with your OB, you will make the right decision for you and your baby as scary and daunting as it is.

Good luck with it all! I hope you work out a decision that will be right for you and your bubby. I am 36 weeks pregannt and still have no idea what I will be doing
