Big babies and second time choices

[mamablondie2]

Hi

My first baby was 12 days late and weighed 9lbs, I had an intervention free birth but did get a third degree tear. Four days before she was born my measurements were not indicating that she would be this big.

I’m having a growth scan at 36 weeks this time to see if baby is looking big and seriously considering asking to be induced early if he/she is. Does anyone have any experience of this? Did it help? At what point would induction need to happen?

I have posted previously about whether to consider a C-section or not and this is just something else I am looking into in order to make a decision

Thanks

@mamablondie2 yes, first baby.

I had 10lb 5oz baby first time which resulted in CS at 9cm for infection, this was at 41+4 and we knew he was big.

Second time had an induction at 39+ due to likely late onset diabetes and had a normal
Birth with a 10lb baby. Had a 3B year. Plan for another vaginal birth if we have a 3rd baby
