Baby measuring 98th percentile at 33 weeks, induction or c-section?

[FTMJul26]

I am currently 33 weeks pregnant and our baby is measuring 98th percentile. I have been offered to have an induction or c section at 39 weeks but am so torn on what to do. From the start I really didn’t want to have the c section but now I am terrified of my baby’s shoulders getting stuck so I am leaning towards the c section. I also read that 25% of women who are induced go on the have an emergency section anyway so I do feel the planned one could be better.

just wondering if anyone has had a baby measuring this size before or has any advice please? I just want to do whatever will get my baby here safely

My second baby was measuring LGA from 25 weeks, my 38 week scan said be was 9lb 7oz so I was induced as they said anything above 4.5kg was a much larger risk of shoulder dystocia and so recommend c section. He was born 8lb 2oz😂

@Jellybunny98 yes I think that’s why it so hard to make a decision because I know the growth scans can be inaccurate as well! I’m just worried that the whole labour I would be worrying about the shoulder dystocia being a possibility
