Hi all

Had 36 week scan and head is at 91st centile, and tummy 92nd hes 7lbs at present

My first question is can you deliver a baby of this size naturally? Will my midwife talk through options with me? 2nd question is with the head and tummy measurements should I be worried? Sonographer didnt seem concerned and said everything is in line with previous scans... when I am googling stuff its coming up with all sorts...

I have been tested for GD at 25 wks came back negative but i know you can get it later on, I'm just thinking of there was cause for concern tbey would have told me at scan?
Any advice would be great
Thank you

Dd was delivered with forceps. Head at 91st centile. I think the forceps was more that I had an 86 hour labour with no sleep and was too knackered.

Those scans are notoriously inaccurate imo!

I wouldn't take it as gospel!

My measurements sound the same... head and abdo slightly off chart at 34 weeks and baby weight estimate 6lb 2... midwife didn't seem concerned and haven't had a scan since... now 38+2 and still measuring off chart on fundal height, scared for delivery now and if he's late x

My DD had head and tummy over the 95th centile. The sonographer referred me to the consultant to discuss options. I was induced early at 38+4 and she was a normal vaginal delivery, very minor tear, weighed 8lb 5.5.
