Advice needed 😭😭😭😭

The growth scans aren't always accurate, my friend was measuring 6lb 12 and the next day her baby was born at 6lb. Do some research on the accuracy of the scans and use that to inform your decision 💜

Thanks for responding ladies. I’m just really worried about his tummy and why that would be enlarged and the doc was talking about risk of his shoulders getting stuck and a horrendous tear for me if delivered vaginally. The doc was also saying about induction that if I have a day booked for induction it could still be another 5 days before he actually arrives which isn’t a nice experience being in hospital all that time and with his predicted large size could end up with a difficult delivery (forceps etc.) or emergency c section anyway. I am at a loss and so scared 😣

Have you been tested for gestational diabetes? Personally I’d probs try induction first and section of no progress

I'd try for a section. Much calmer experience and it would be so stressful to start in natural and it end in section anyway.

My baby also measured around 90th percentile towards the end of pregnancy and was born at 55th percentile! High measurement was also because of her big belly. Decided to go vaginally and let labour come naturally and very happy we did! All went well, did end up having an episiotomy but really wasn’t too bad. She still has a beautiful big belly 🥰😅

Enlarged tummy usually indicates gestational diabetes but also, they can never be 100% sure with the growth scans.

If there is a chance of a c section do it a plan c section is alot better then a emergency one better recovery

I was never tested for GD and they’ve said it’s too late now to test. Never had any risk factors for it but feel horrendous if I do have it as this whole pregnancy I’ve just eaten what I’ve wanted 😣 I’ve decided to opt for an induction just to see if my body can birth the big boy vaginally and then if induction doesn’t work I’ll be booked for a c section. Hopefully everything works out 🙏🏼
