Had a scan today and the baby's weight is estimated at 8lbs (3.65kg). I know these measurements can be out by 10%.... but they were spot on with DS and the sonographer checked several times and said she was being conservative.
I was 54kg pre-pregnancy and have a very small frame.
DS was born at 41wks, weighting about the same as this one is now. I got to 9cm dilated with him and then he got stuck so I had to have a EmSC. They later told me that he was trying to come out face first. Apparently this baby is in exactly the same position.
My consultants words were "OK, there is no point being stupid about this". He has suggested waiting until 39 weeks and having a CS if the baby has not made an appearance by then. Does this sound like a sensible advice? Has anyone been through a similar experience?
To be fair to the consultant, he was very supportive oof a VBAC at the earlier stages of my pregnancy.
