Bubby is 100th percentile at 31+4
A little history first, if you can bare with me..
I just had a progress scan as I was recently diagonosed with GD. I had it with my first bubby too, controlled it with diet, and he arrived on due date at 7pounds 10 so by no means huge. This time everyone including the middies have been commenting for a while how huge I am.. I had a GTT at 16weeks, and all clear, then another one at 29 weeks which came back borderline so I am back testing blood sugar levels and monitoring what I eat. As it was always a risk that I would get it again I have not been going crazy food wise anyway and have not put on too much weight, but my bump is big.
As standard procedure my doc sent me for a progress scan and I went along thinking that it would all be fine, and that the high fundal height measurment I got last week was just cause it is second bub etc. We got in there and started scanning and the numbers started coming up on the screen at 34+ weeks for each meaurement. The sonographer started to get really worried and stopped and checked all his paperwork to make sure we had the dates right.. but since he did my 6 week scan and it was spot on he couldn't say I got my LMP wrong or anything. Bubby was a little on the big side at the 20 week scan, but nothing unusual.
So he goes back and re-measures everything and says, WOW, this is a BIG baby. Every measurement was over 34 weeks with the humerus and head diameter coming in at nearly 35 weeks. In the end he fiddled round till it averaged out at 34+4 making me 3 full weeks bigger than dates and at the 100th percentile.
Has anyone else had this at this stage?
Was bubby born really big?
Did you have to get induced early due to bubs size?
Were you preasured to have a c-section?
Do they take into account you/your husbands size? I am 5'10 and DH is 6'4 and while I have a quite slender build, DH is very solid. Does this make a difference?
I'm very worried as I had plans for a very natural birth, with no induction or intervention as much as possible this time due to complications from having these things last time..
Any feedback would be great! As I live remotely, I can't just go and see my OB as we do shared cared with a local GP, so I am trying to call him to discuss, but he is very hard to get hold of..
Thanks..
