Things you don't want to hear your doc say...

I had an appt yesterday with an exstenive sono.  They were taking a bunch of measurements.  Doc tells me we have good news.  My 32 weeker weighs over 5 pounds.  Her head is in the 85th percentile and her stomach is in the 98th percentile.  Um...  yay???   I still have to squeeze that out!  I'm happy she's growing well, but waaaaaaaa! Crying my poor vagina!  Here's to hoping those measurements weren't accurate and she's really smaller!

  • Awww, those measurements (as you know) are notoriously wrong, soo don't start freaking out just yet. At least your doc sounds optimistic about it Smile.... Did he mention inducing early because of her seemingly "largeness"? Or was he not too concerned? Confused

  • Luckily the measurements are usually off. Yay for good sized baby, though.

    She knows I won't induce a second time, or at least not a hospital induction anyway.  She seemed surprised because DD1.0 was as average as can be, but she's not concerned about it.  She was commenting about baby being chubby and having big cheeks like her sister.  I just don't want to squeeze out a big ole head! lol!

  • I feel your pain.  At 30 weeks I had a growth ultrasound and baby was measuring close to 5 pounds at that point, and he has continually measured about 3 weeks ahead the whole pregnancy.  I go again on Tuesday to see how large he is now. But I keep telling myself, my body won't grow a baby I can't deliver!
  • Hooray for a healthy baby girl still cooking!  Take everything else with a grain of salt and trust your body!  It knows best :-)
  • My last 4 growth scans have indicated that the baby's head is 3 weeks ahead.  I keep invisioning baby stewie and that's just not a fun birth idea.  But can't worry about what you can't change, right...

     (I was going to start with: if it makes you feel better, but then I decided that wouldn't make you feel better so what's the point of adding that)
