Do they induce early for big baby?

Helloooo :)

Just a thought really! I had my fundal height measured at 28 weeks, I was measuring above the 97th centile line.

Midwife didn’t say a lot but tested me for GD as a precaution which was clear, so said it’ll just be a matter of keeping an eye on it.

I’ve slightly freaked myself out now because according to my chart if he stays on track he’s estimated at nearly 10lb and I’m really quite short with a small frame 😬

I’ve got my next appointment in a weeks time so I’m sure my midwife will let me know then, but i was just wondering as I’m slightly terrified of having to push out a gigantic baby haha!

I would! They can only say no, but they may take it into consideration. Size 2 is tiny! Either way, baby will arrive and it will all be worth it, I promise! 😊

I measured over 97th at 28 week appointment and today at my 32 week my fundal height hasn't changed so I'm being sent for a growth scan on wednesday. Could be anything like how the midwife measured you or babys position. I wouldn't worry too much until your next few measurements are taken.

My first baby measured big and he was born at 37.5 weeks at 8lbs 3oz due to my waters going but I had a normal vaginal birth and it was fine
