96th percentile baby help and advice

I am 32 weeks + 6 days pregnant and earlier this week I was sent for a growth scan that showed my baby is in the 96th percentile weighing approximately 5 pounds. I’m now weighing up my options of elective c-section or induction at 39 weeks. I have another scan at 36 weeks to confirm if she is still measuring big and then an appointment with a consultant. Does anyone have experience of this? I’m unsure now of what to do birth wise as I had in my head a natural water birth but that may not be the case. I was dead against c-section but now I’m thinking twice.

to have another baby or not

I’ve got a 9 week old girl and I’m so in love, she’s my first baby and I’ve always liked the idea of having two children! My pregnancy however was terrible and I suffered with HG and PGP and bad anaemia so I was quite against the thought of having another and just leaving it as a one and done.

However, I’m thinking of trying for another baby when she turns 3 or 4 years old - unsure if that’s too late or not but I felt it would be an ideal age as she is quite independent and won’t need me too much like she would if she were 1 and by then she’d be at nursery so it gives me some time to relax at home when I’m on maternity leave in the later stages. Just wanted some advice on those who may have that age gap and decided to try around that age! I’m also on the injection contraception so it would be a while before I started to come off it x
