C-Section or Natural - baby measuring big

Following - as apparently I have a giant baby too! A section scares me and I had a lovely induction with my first, so would love to go back down that route. But if a section is safer option then I’d like to hear some positive stories!

I was told my baby was on the small side but the last time I did a fetal growth scan (last week), the size of the baby was 3 lb 6 oz 🤷🏽‍♀️. Isn’t that the average weight for a baby to be at that time?

Seems like the baby is growing to me. They are considering to induce me at 36-37 weeks and ofc it would be a c-section 😩. I’m positive the baby will continue to grow. I’m 33 weeks today btw.

FYI, I’m a first time mom.
Thoughts anyone?

I requested a c-section from the beginning for personal preference. I can’t say I’ve felt any change of heart at all throughout, even when going through the risks with consultant. My consultant is lovely and really reassured me. I’m all booked in for 3rd May x

@Marissa what was your due date? Do they book it earlier so you don't go into labour?

I had a c section with my first purely due to not being able to have epidural (past surgery caused site to be too scarred). Now with my second it was in question however having a toddler and recovering from a c section wouldn’t be the ideal situation. My first born weighed 9lbs and it’s looking like my second will be around that too (at 31 weeks he weighed 3lbs 9oz). The worry about a bigger baby is worrying however a bigger baby is supposed to be an easier labor

Heyy, I had a c-section with my first baby due to labour not starting spontaneously despite being induced however I feel like my experience was really calm and positive. I have opted for a VBAC this time round but equally not too worried if I have to have another C-sec ☺️x

Opted for a VBAC this time after homebirth ended in transfer in for non progression and eventually non emergency section. Been told this second baby is big. No surprise as first was large by 42 weeks when he came. Midwives have said no issues re big babies so I’m planning vaginal birth - no section or other interventions purely due to size …

Following as I’m in the same position. 33 weeks and he’s measuring 5.5 pounds. He’s on 87% percentile and his belly is on the 95% at least. X

I have a big baby and I'm trying natural first! If I have to have a c section I will but people can push out big babies!!! It depends what works for you xx
