Growth scan

[sthitch]

How accurate are growth scans nowadays? I'm having one as showing 3cm over my chart, I'm also quite petite in weight and height so that could be why. How big does the baby have to be to start an induction and do they often go for a c-sec if showing too big? I'm 39 weeks.

To be honest OP I didn't have the balls I nagged the ass off my husband and he called maternity triage.

If you're worried at all call them and get to speak to a consultant.

On the plus side, because my son was big he slept through from six weeks, was easy to wean so it's not all bad! Chin up!

I had one at 37 weeks. I was measuring 30 gestation. I was told my baby weighed 6lb. I gave birth at 40+6, and my baby weighed 6lb 7oz.

I had 3 growth scans, 2 because my bump measured over and 1 because it measured under! The 'big' ones were much quicker, the midwife said they were really just measuring to make sure there was not too much fluid. For the other one they actually measured the baby
