31 weeks with fist baby and went in for appointment today bump measurement was on the 97th percentile.
Midwife immediately suggested if growth continues this on this line that I go in for induction at 38 weeks.
This really annoyed me. I am 28, in good health have only gained 20lbs so far and was a 22 BMI pre-pregnancy as well as being reasonably tall myself. I don't have gestational diabetes or any other complications. I told her I wouldn't be going for induction unless medically essential and she looked at me like I was an idiot.
The ladies in my family tend to have babies on the bigger side and when I told her this she brushed it away like it made no difference. Surely women have bigger babies fairly regularly without intervention?
So irritated that her immediate reaction was oh you will definitely want to induce at 38 weeks without seeing how I felt about it first. Especially considering this is all based on bump measurements not even a growth scan which I know can be inaccurate!!!
Anyone else had midwife suggest induction for LGA as soon as it is noticed?
