Anxiety

I had scan today and they said baby is measuring big and weighs 4.2 lb at 31 weeks and is breech. I don’t know why but I’m so anxious about needing a c section also having a big baby. If she measuring at 4.2 what will her estimated birth weight be?

I'm going to say around 6lb, which isn't overly big, my 1st was 6lb, 2nd 6lb 14, 3rd at full term was 4lb 15, all natural births with no pain relief. They turned my first from breech position at 37 weeks. Good luck.

From 36 weeks, baby grows 1/2 a pound a week. So if you go to term, I would guess baby would be around 7.5/8lb. Doesn't sound big to me. But also, don't worry, I had loads of extra scans due to them thinking my baby was gonna be big. She was a week late and 6lb 3 😂 xx

I kept being told my baby was big but she came out at 4lb 13oz x

My LG was “estimated” 4lb8oz at my 32week scan, the last scan I had was 2 days before she arrived and estimated at 7lb 12oz she was 7lb1oz when born (perfectly on the 50% centile) She was also in the breech position at 32 weeks.
Scans aren’t accurate so try not to overthink them too much x

My first was estimated “big” she was born 41+1 and only 6lb 11oz. They get it wrong a lot 🙄
