6lbs at 33 weeks

There is only a 25% chance these are the right measurements, don’t worry too much. My growth scan at 32 weeks indicated at 8lb baby, he came out 5lb 3oz on the 9th centile xx

thank you! I didn't realise they are so innacurrate x

My baby was measuring big. I was due to meet a consultant at 39+5 and discuss my options. Fortunately for me baby was born 39+1, all natural - didn't need inducing etc. He was born 9lb 15oz, so basically 10lb. I didn't request any pain relief, labour wasn't too long but they did have to give me an episiotomy as I couldn't quite get his big old head out 🤣
It was a very positive experience for me, especially because I'd been told he was a "big baby" and to expect a c-section so naturally I was a bit worried.

Big babies don't always require c-sections so if you really don't want one then try and really get that across to them.
I feel like c-sections make their lives easier cos they can control the flow of women coming in but c-sections aren't easier for the mother!
Good luck ❤️❤️❤️❤️

I was told my baby was 6lb5oz at 33 weeks, and I had her 3 weeks later at 7lb5oz! The scans can be super inaccurate xx

Thank you for all your advice ladies, I'm definitely going to try and push for a vaginal delivery over a c-section especially now I know it might not even be accurate x

You won’t need a c section just cause of size especially since this is your first baby. If you had a c section then a large second baby they would strongly recommend it. You’ll definitely need an episiotomy though!

at 30 weeks my baby weighed 5 pounds and i made it to 38 weeks but i ended up getting preeclampsia and they gave me a decision whether or not i wanted to push him out he was weighing 9 pounds 12 ounces at the hospital and i chose to do a c section and he came out 10 pounds 10 ounces. I’m thankful i chose a c section😅

I was told my baby was 9lbs at 38 weeks and gave birth at 40+1 to what was predicted to be an 11lbs baby..she was 9lbs pretty much on the dot. They're sooo inaccurate don't stress too much about it! It wad also a vaginal delivery
