Big Baby - help

[sugarnotsweetener]

Now my daughter was 8.15 and a half so this shouldn’t be a surprise but it is.

I’m 5’3” and husband is 6’2” so yes admittedly he is tall but he was only 8.4 at birth and I was bigger at 8.6 so I don’t feel we can say it’s genetics. I am average build he is sporty build.

I’ve tesed negative to GD, actually I am the exact opposites and my sugar levels are too low. So it’s not GD. Gosh only knows how big she’d be if I had that!!!!

I’m almost 35 weeks and I’ve only gained 10lb so I don’t feel it can be attributed to this either.

However at the last growth scan they said her abdominal circumference had shot up, they said she was about 5.5lb then (that was at 32w) and would be 9lb plus at birth. Birth doesn’t worry me because she’s booked in for a section at 39w but will she stay put til then? My bump is enormous honestly it’s so huge and she feels big so I don’t see how she’s going to stay put til 39w and I’m worried something is wrong since she’s so big 😣 anyone have any wisdom?

I wouldn’t worry I was a petite average height size 8 with my first child and had a nearly 10lb baby.. came as a shock. He held on fine In there. Keep an eye out for labour symptoms but a bigger baby doesn’t necessarily mean they will come early.. I was overdue anyway.
I’m sure nothing is wrong either. Please be aware growth scans can be BEEY inaccurate

Thank you @cutyourshakehole I had been Saying they could be wrong etc but my bump is now so huge I can’t kid myself with that any longer! Glad to hear your DS stayed put, she just feels like she’s pressing so hard down below when I stand up but maybe that’s Cos she’s my second
