I am currently weighing up whether I want to stop at 2 children. My first weighed 8lbs 12ozs and my second 10lbs 14ozs. I am only 5'5" and have been told I am lucky to have had an uncomplicated natural birth with a baby that size. I have been told that with any subsequent pregnancies I would be safer to have a cs, possiby at 37 weeks.
I wouldn't trust scans to ascertain the size of future babes as with my second son I had scans at 35 weeks and 37 weeks and they never picked up that he was bigger than average. Would paying for a 4D scan in late pregnancy give me a more accurate idea of weight?
Has anybody got any experiences of this? I would really appreciate any feedback.
