    I am going to scream it from the screen DON"T TAKE TOO MUCH NOTICE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    My DD4 was going to be HUGE an she was 6lb something. My DD7months who was born at 28 weeks was "at least 1.2kg on u/s and she was only 815grams (that may seem like a small difference but it means huge amounts with one so tiny)

    Nod your head, smile and remind yourself that it is very very unlikely with a healthy Mama and baby to grow a baby that is too big for your body to birth.

    Wishing you a beautiful birth

    I was told my daughter was going to be at least a 9lb maybe 10lb, she was born 7lb 6oz by vaginal birth. One of my girlfriends gave birth to her son naturally 3 months ago he was 10lb 11oz at 41.5 weeks, she had no problems. I wouldn't be worried about the weight of the baby, most birth dramas are in relation to the babies position.
    :goodluck2:Best of Luck with your upcoming birth!

    I recently had my 34 week U/S and they told me he was 2.3kgs already and i thought Hmmm ok. They reckon he is going to be about 9 Pounds.... BUT i dont mind. I thought my 8lb3.5oz baby was a better birth than my 7lb7oz baby, the bigger they are the better they help.
    Plus i dont think you could ever not be able to birth your baby, your body knows what you can handle!!
    Goodluck with the birth..
