Our baby is going to be HUGE!!!!

So I went into the doctor today, and informed him that I've been feeling a little less movement lately. So first he hooked me up to a monitor. Baby was sleeping, so to get a better look we did a quick ultrasound.
Baby is healthy, and happy but measuring in the 95th percentile!!!! She is 5 pds. 4 ounces, and measuring at 35 weeks, (I'm only 31 weeks along).
Dr. says it's just genetics, because I don't have gestational diabetes.
He says I'll probably have to be induced at 39 weeks. CRAZY!!!!
BTW she is too cute, and looks just like her dad.

Re: Our baby is going to be HUGE!!!!
GL! LO is estimated at 8 lbs already. I am 5'1 and barely 140 lbs NOW! DH is 6'3 I just don't know where this kid is finding room to still grow!?!? Dr said "oh girl, i won't cut him out unless he is 12 lbs" I wanted to slap her, honestly!!!!
(not that I want a c-section, I just don't wanna break my hips and hearing 12lbs is just SCARY! lol)
Take it all with a grain of salt - I had three different ultrasounds with LO measuring in the 98th percentile. She was estimated at 8lbs 2oz at our 36wk scan. I was told over and over again she would be at least 9lbs. My OB even told the resident, as they were wheeling me to the OR for a c-section, that she was probably too big for a natural delivery.
After all was said and done I was handed a healthy, but not overly large, 7lb6oz baby girl. Good luck!
My cousin measured 37 weeks at 31 weeks and was estimated to have a 10lb+ baby. He was only 8lbs 8oz.
I also measured 35cm at 31wks and now am measuring 38wks at 33wks. DH is 6'8" so im sure LO will be big but my MW said we won't talk planned c section until they think there's a really good chance he's 10-12lbs and even then she'd let me make the decision. Love her!
Big babies are awesome! Dd was 9 lbs 6 oz, and I'm 5 ft nothing, and pretty petite. I felt like super woman, and still do
You never know what your body is capable of, so try not to worry about it too much.
Big babies are usually good eaters and sleepers too- as I knock on wood frantically hoping this time around is similar
I gave birth to a 13lbs. baby girl on April 3rd!
We were pretty sure she was going to be a big baby based on the fact I was measuring 49 weeks when I was 38 weeks along. I wouldn't have thought she was going to be 13lbs. though. My first was 9lbs5oz.
Thank goodness I had a c-section!
