27+2 FTM, baby boy belly measuring 97th centile

I had the same with regards to the abdomen measurement.
Had the 20 week glucose test, came back negative.
Grown scan at 34 weeks and she was still measuring in the 97th percentile for her abdomen and only 10th percentile for her head.
Redone the glucose test, still negative.
No further action required they said, they are not concerned anything wrong and she might just be on the chunky side 😂
I’m not going to be induced, but I am having an elective c section (nothing to do with this, just personal choice).

Haha awww, im glad everything else is okay! 🤣i wonder how big ours both are when they are born, aslong as hes healthy im happy ❤️

at the 34 week scan they estimated her current weight at 5lb 8 with still 5 weeks to go haha. God knows how big she is going to be, kind of glad I’ve picked the c section route.. I’m just about 5ft, she will prob come out half my size 😂

Oh wow haha 🤣🙈 yeah i dont blame you there! Im deffo going to think about it, just incase 🤣🙈
Hahaa brilliant 🤣🤭❤️

I had very similar measurements, no GD, no problems during pregnancy, etc. She was just a big baby!
They wanted to induce me too, not because of any concerns/high risk, just because of her size. I told them no (which you totally have the option to do, they can’t force you to induce)!
My LO was 8lbs, 15oz. I went into labor, got the epidural, and she was born 4 hours after that (at 40w + 1d)

Thank you :) that is so reassuring!
I also didnt realise you could say no to things like that, is there any benefits to having/not having it?
Ive heard alot of people saying they were also told they had a big baby but it wasnt, is so hard to know whats best🙈
Im so glad she was healthy and everything went okay!❤️

Happy to help! 🙂
It is absolutely your choice! I would look into inductions & talk to your doctor. I’ve heard good & bad things, but I haven’t personally experienced it. If they told me inducing was necessary for mine or baby’s health, then I absolutely would have done it. But, I had very laidback pregnancy & no complications, so I decided it wasn’t necessary for us.
My mindset was — My body is made to handle this, baby will come when baby is ready.
and Thank you! 🫶🏼 She’s still a big baby, even at 11 months, haha. Sometimes it’s just genetics. My husband is 6’3” & I was 9lbs when I was born, so I kind of assumed she’d be a chunker!
