At my 40 week appointment I asked the midwife what size the baby is measuring. She informed me that it is 95th-100th percentile for weight according to my bump measurement. My bump doesn’t seem very big to me and lots of people comment on it being very ‘neat’ so I’m not sure how accurate the measurement is in the first place? I have a family history (mum and sisters) of big babies and all the complications they tend to bring such as bad tears etc. I asked to be brought in as soon as possible for induction because I was freaked out about the predicted size and the family history. The best she could do was today (40+9). Unfortunately the midwife has called to say the ward is too busy to take me in and maybe tomorrow...but no promises made. I am so frustrated that no-one seems to be taking my concerns seriously. I know some people will say it’s no big deal but I am just so scared of the additional risks to myself and the baby from being allowed to get so big. The midwife wouldn’t give me a predicted weight last week because she said she would probably be wrong but any women in my family who have been allowed to go this far have all had babies around the 10lb mark. I just feel so powerless and my fate is in the hands of people who aren’t listening to me. Am I silly to feel like this?
