Whoppa size baby on the way!!!

I had growth scan last week to be told bubs was about 3.6 kilo and I had 2 weeks to go. They said they have about 600 gram discrepancy either way.
I think if you have given birth to a 9 pound you should be able to birth this bubs.
I had emergency c section and they are not an easy alternative. Although I had an awesome recovery there are so many things you shouldnt do like drive for 6 weeks, which if you have other kids, may be difficult.
I would see how you go, play it by ear and if you end up with c section then I guess it was meant to be.

Sorry to seem a downer, but I am a small-built woman, only 5 foot tall (and 47kg pre 1st pregnancy) and my FIRST baby was 9lb 1oz (4.1kg) - which I delivered naturally although with an epesiotomy ... plus he was 56cm long at birth ...

Hi, my babies weights were pretty much the same,1st born son =3.4kg, 2nd born son =3.5kg, 3rd born daughter =3.1kg , 4th born son =3.6kg and our fifth baby son born in dec`07,was my first c-section and only weighed 3.7kg, I was told that ultrasounds arn`t that accurate later in pregnancy, and because iam over weight the doctors told me my baby was going to be at least 10 pounds and because my fourth son`s shoulders got displaced,they recommended a c-section,this was the pits,so painful and long recovery,give me natural child birth any day. Anyway if a ultrasound can`t give us precise measurements what would a doctor know! Also that stupid measurement Fundal height mine was always out 3-4 weeks and none of my babies were ever 10 pounds. Cheers!
