Should I be worried... baby measuring 39+6 when I'm 37+2

[Inertia]

Personally, I wouldnt be worried at all.

There are many a story on here where they have measured "big babies" and induced early only to have bub pop out at 5-6 lbs. And even if they are 9-10 you can still do it! My mum pushed out a 12 pounder without a tear!

Check this out - Small Pelvis? Here?s The Truth About Cephalopelvic Disproportion (CPD) - should help highlight that even if it is a bigger than average baby, its not more than you can handle! Believe that, your body does!

I'm interested to hear what others say on this as well. I had 2 early dating scans - both saying i was a week less pregnant than my last LMP suggested i should be. YET every scan i have had since then (3) have said that bubs is 2 weeks too big for my EDD. So technically my baby is one week bigger than my LMP EDD, but two weeks bigger than the due date given to me at my dating scan. I sometimes wonder if they know what they are talking about at all with regards to size of babies!

A few years back a friend of mine was induced, as she was told that she was 2 weeks overdue. When bubs actually birthed she was tiny - the doctor agreeing she was most likely 3 weeks premmy - and she was treated this way too. So they were 5 weeks out on that one.

Bubs will come when he / she is ready. Big or Small. As long as you have been shown to be healthy - ie. no GD etc i think you will be fine. DF and me joke all the time that we just breed them big! (he was 7p9oz at 3 weeks prem - with a heavy smoker mother) and me and my siblings were all well over 9 pounds full term. Whats a "normal" weight when born anyway???
