Hello,
I am currently 12wks pregnant with dc4. Previous babies have been
ds1 - 7lb 6oz - 10hrs
ds2 - 7lb 13oz - 5hrs
dd - 9lb 4oz - 3hrs
I am quite worried about how big this baby will be. Dd was a planned hb which was quite straightforward apart from dp delivering her. Labour was only 3hrs from first twinge and mw arrived 5mins too late!
I have been advised to have another hb due to ever shortening labours but I don't want to find ourselves in same situation as before but with a bigger baby and potential for getting stuck etc, esp as I am only 5"1.
Do you think they would do repeated growth scans so they can accurately plot and predict this babies weight and if it looks to be even bigger then maybe induce at 38weeks?
If you have any thoughts or experience here please help! I know it's a way off yet but I'm really worried and it's all I can think about.
Thanks, Gem x
