New to this! So I’ve just come back from the midwife I’m 31 weeks pregnant with my third (2 boys) this one is a girl!
I’m measuring at 36 weeks pregnant and my midwife has arranged a consultant to see me at the hospital to check the size of my baby 😳 she said she’s going to be a big one! Tested negative for gestational diabetes and the abdominal circumference was just about in the ‘normal’ line at 20 week scan should I be worried!?
Hoping for a natural vaginal birth like my last two but don’t want to be pushing out a baby rhino 😳

You need to have more scans closer to the due date. Are you tiny youself?

34 weeks here and since 24 weeks have been measuring 4 weeks ahead everytime (bump measurements) my baby is also above the top line so he's going to be a big one but he's been following his own line throughout so it's not too bad. They will just check on babys size I wouldn't worry too much at the moment x

I haven’t gained that much weight .. I’m 5’8 and weighed 13 stone before pregnant and now weigh in at just under 15 although I don’t look as though I’ve put any on.. I’ve just got a very round belly lol ..

Dont forget though aswell could be more fluid than baby aswell this is what they will also check when you have your scan. What size was your last 2? My last one was 9lb 8oz and first 7lb 11oz so I expected this one to be a big one too. Also going off what my consultant said to me.. After 2 children already and being tall (I'm only 5ft 6 so your taller) then there shouldn't really be a problem being able to have a natural birth with a bigger baby. She also said there is a 10% margin error on growth scans either way so they could say baby is such a size and may actually be infact smaller which seems to be a thing that happens alot.
