Large gestational age at 36+4 weeks
I had my appointment today as was told my baby (Due 4th July - with an elective section booked for 3rd July) is currently measuring on the 97th percentile with an EDD of 16th June now.
I was sent home to do the blood glucose testing for a week but I’ve had such a lack of midwife appointments, no urine dips, no BP readings and only one bump measurement since 26 weeks. I only had today’s appointment because 3 weeks ago they measured him for the first time and he was big. Now he’s huge!
I just constantly feel exhausted, pressure low down, Braxton hicks most of the days, i just feel so over it.
Do you think they’ll move my section forward or is it possible I’d go into labour earlier if he’s measuring this big?

Very unlikely. They only typically move section dates if there’s a worry and ‘big baby means healthy baby’ so they won’t be concerned especially if you’re already planning a C-section they’ll just see it as if you go into labour early you’ll just have a semi emergency C-section.
Also big baby doesn’t mean earlier labour, your body goes into labour when you and baby are ready
