BIG baby!!

[mrsblue]

So I had a GTT this week for diabetes and it came back as normal, which is great news. Then I had another growth scan yesterday after having one at 34 weeks and the baby is still growing at a very "healthy" rate - current weight estimated at 7 pounds 10 with 4 weeks to go!!! This means baby could be well over 10 pounds by my due date, and goodness knows how heavy at 42 weeks The funny thing was that since the last scan I have been really trying to eat well and exercise, and I have only put on 1.5 pounds in weight in 2.5 weeks - ALL of this has gone onto the baby!!

I might have to see a consultant so they can decide whether to induce me before/on my due date. Sounds silly but I was relying on going overdue as I still have loads to sort out - better get my bum in gear if it's coming sooner!

Pointless thread, just updating. And getting slightly nervous about pushing this "little" one out...

Yup...don't think I'm going to have a delicate baby - my Dad is already earmarking him for rugby. (We don't even know if it's a boy but I think it is!)

I was told Stanley was going to be over 10 pounds, this was at a growth scan a week before he was norm, but he was a tiny 7lb4 I was panicking a little lol xx

i delivered a 10lb 14oz 'little' girl naturally with just gas and air and some diamorphine when i got the episiotomy and that was back to back as well it wasnt terribly traumatic, just pushed like there was no tomorrow lol
