hey my babes, iām shook honestlyš¤£.. so iām 34weeks and 4 days and i had a growth scan yesterday. I was told heās 7lb already.. and that i have a lot of fluid surrounding me. i was told i had GD then i donāt, then i had to do then i done the finger pricking for 2 weeks passed that. now after the scan there saying i do.. but my partner was 10lb when he was born so i generally think itās genetics on his sideš.. they are talking about inducing me which i DONT want to do and also a C section in which they get paid to do. I just want everything to be as natural as possible. Anyone else having/had a similar experience? x

My baby was born at 11lb at 40+4. Big babies run in my family, no GD. Also had poly (too much fluid). 33+5 he was 6lb 11.
Look at the big baby trial

I was induced by pessary at 39 weeks exactly for GD/large baby and she was born 9lb5oz and a water birth, it was lovely and we were home the same day. I was also induced with my son the same way for a different reason and again had a water birth and was home the same day. Of course every experience is different but Inductions arenāt all bad, I do think thereās a lot of negativity around them.

At every scan I had baby boy was always measuring big. Like you I did 3 GD tests all came back fine. I also had extra fluid on one scan which resolved itself at the next scan.
I was induced at 37 weeks for another condition I developed in pregnancy rather than his weight. But when then induced me the suspected I had more waters again because of the amount that came out. I ended up having an emergency c-section but because of the increased fluid once baby was born they passed an NG tube down his nose to check there wasnāt any blockages and that this was the reason for the increased fluid but thankfully all was well.
Considering he was measuring a ābig babyā he was born weighing 6lb 11oz xx
