How accruate are growth scans?

[misdee]

dd2 was 9lb and arrived at 39weeks. i am having growth scans with this baby as am borderline diabetic (gestinal) and atm is under control, but with dd2 i never measured big or anything, so she was a shock at 9lb, considering dd1 was 6lb 15oz at full term.

can i asked to be induced? would they let me be induced? am scared of big baby again.

misdee, BPD is the width from temple to temple on the baby's head.

it must depend on the hospictal as I had a growth scan and was toldhaving big baby mv sent me to see obs and she said no need to induce or c-section "plenty of women have 10lb babies"

I went to just below 42 weeks and he was 11lb 4 oz and had him naturally. Good luck

BTW IME would not be induced without a VERY good reason. Was with dd and it was horrible.

am gonna try and avoid a section. would rather go into spontasous labour again, but feel i can cope with induction if needed/wanted.
