Big babies.
When at my last appointment at 26 weeks, the Dr said I was measuring 33 weeks already! Thats 7 weeks ahead!?! All my babies were big so I was not too surprised, but this is the first time it’s been this far ahead. Usually it’s maybe a week or two. He told me to come in earlier than 32 weeks fetal scan and to come in at 30 weeks which is tomorrow so they can check fetal development. I asked what all this meant and he said maybe early induction or even c-section if baby is measuring too big. Also have to take a stress test on baby.
I’ve never had a c-section and really don’t want one, and I don’t want to induce more than 39 weeks. Anybody else experience this? I’m a bit anxious for tomorrow.
For reference I think my body can handle big babies, I’m above avg height, and have “birthing hips” my biggest was 9lb7oz. Should I push to wait if they suggest that I not? As long as baby is not stressed, right? I’m all over the place sorry.

Yea my baby is measuring big in the 92% but… my first had a dislocated shoulder at birth so they automatically told me at 12w that they’d be inducing me this pregnancy for babies safety and initially I was saying no but my mom (an LPN) talked them into inducing me at 39w 0D unless baby comes early on his own due to the fact that he’s starting to push down closer to the cervix on his own and I just hit 32w with my next growth ultrasound at 35w 1d hopefully he stays in until at the least 37w but I’m not going to stress about it because baby can feel it all so I’m staying calm and keeping my thoughts positive
