Hi all im 36+3 and I've been told my baby already weighs 7,2lbs. I've been checked and negative for GD and they are happy that the baby is not growing too fast, its just on the larger side - I think its 95th percentile.
At a growth scan yesterday they told me the midwife would discuss options with me as they want to minimise complications.
I feel like they are prepping me to accept an induction...I really would rather things happen naturally when my body is ready but I definitely don't want to do anything that's puts the baby at any increased risk. I've got a midwife appointment today and I just wondered if anyone had any thoughts/suggestions of questions to ask/experiences of a larger baby that they could share? I guess the whole pandemic just increases anxiety around most things!
Thank you all!
