Hello Meadsie, just wanted to say I'm in a similar position as you right now.

Saw a fill-in OB today for my appt at 35.5 weeks. (Is yours away on conference too?)

So I lay down for the old tape measure thang and as he measured me his eyebrows shot up and I thought Oh God here we go.... fundal height is 39. Pfft.

So he gave me the same little talk about discussing options with my regular OB when I have my next appt in 2 weeks.

In my case this is my 3rd baby... 1st was 4.2kg and I was induced and birthed her relatively easily considering the whopper she was, only a couple of teeny stitches, and my second was a breeze at 3.3kg, no drugs and no stitches, all good.

I'm scared only because of the baby's well being. I don't care about the pain - I can always scream for an epi! - but I'm worried about shoulder dystocia if the baby's too much bigger than my first.

But I'm going to try to keep calm and talk to my own OB in 2 weeks.

It's not a nice place to be in because your mind goes berserk. But I agree with most of the commments here in that it's impossible to tell exactly how big the baby is and how your body will manage.

Good luck with it all... keep us posted.
