I'm 33, nearly 34 weeks now. At my 32 week consultant appointment I measured a whopping 43 weeks! (11 weeks above dates)
I know part of this is due to a biiig fibroid and the other due to a baby with an abdominal circumference above the 95th centile (like mother, like baby us all I can say! ). Baby was estimated to measure 4lb 11oz at that point.
Anyhow, my question is - is there a safe limit for a uterus to stretch to and will the medics consider getting baby out before that point, or is it a game of chance?
I've been a bit anxious through this pregnancy due to loads of different issues, and the fact we had a mc last time.
I'm struggling physically to walk, move or do anything vaguely normal, and have a 39 week section booked, but wondered if they would do it sooner to make sure it gets here safe and to keep me safe too?
At this rate, I'm gonna have the most stretched uterus in the history of the world!

Is there a size limit they will let me get to before getting baby out?
