Having a cow baby

sdubois

Just got back from my 37 week check up and since Mr Cruz has been measuring big I got another us....he's dropped into position and still in my ribs! So he's very long and weighing in at 7lbs! His little face is so fat My doctor said he is expecting me to go into labor this weekend which sucks because I'm in new Orleans expecting a tropical storm to hit all weekend but if I don't go in by Wednesday I'll be induced Thursday!!!

I hate when they decide to induce you because they think the baby is too big, with my first they said she was going to be 9 pounds and she was 7 pounds, with my newborn they said right before I gave birth that she was at 8 pounds and she was born with 9 pounds, their measurements are way off sometimes

I wouldn't be okay with it but for me better safe than sorry,my husband is 6'5 and I'm 5'0 our daughter was 8 pounds and 23 inches when she came at 38 weeks and almost caused me a section. The boys in my husbands family have all been 10 pounds or larger so it makes since to take him at 38 weeks having a section with 4 kids to tend to after wouldn't be good for me. @Janet_2011

Oh I see.. Yeah you would have a huge baby if you wait more o.o since the babies keep coming bigger each time and I hope everything goes well

Years ago nine pound babies went considered to big. My bother and sisters were eight n nine pounders

Thanks @Janet_2011

And I know that 8-9 pound babies aren't "huge" babies @mandac10 lots of people I know have had 8,9,and 10+ pound babies...my doctor just knows that we had a really hard time getting my 8 pound baby out and that for me personally 8 pounds is too much to safely have.

At 35 weeks they told me he was already 6 lbs and would likely be over 8 lbs. Today at my 39 week us they said he is 6 lbs 7 oz and would likely be just shy of 7 lbs at birth... the moral of the story is that ultrasounds just provide an estimate.
