Under consultant for growth scan as my last baby was 10lb!

Due my fourth baby in December, my last baby was 10lb 2. I had a water birth no complications, it was very fast and painful obviously. But now I’m really worrying myself that I’ll have like a 12lb baby!! My 1st was 8lb 6, 2nd 8lb 15. So they all all got bigger each time. Is it likely I will end up having even bigger? Consultant did mention induction but really not keen on the idea as I hear it can be even more painful. Just looking for some reassurance really or anyone that’s been through similar

My first was >10lbs
second > 11lbs
third was the smallest.

Doesn't always go big, big, bigger…..

And you can easily birth big babies so I wouldn’t be worried.

My first was 8.2, second was 10.4, third was 7.6 and fourth was 9.3. Second was also 2 weeks early!

My first was 10lb 4oz born at 37 weeks. My second, born at 38 weeks, was 9lbs 14 oz. Both were sections.

1st was 7lb 7oz, 2nd was 7lb 8oz, 3rd was 8lb 2oz, 4th was 9lb and 5th was 7lb 5oz. They don't always get bigger. Also inductions are OK I've had 4 all no complications
