BIG boy!!

I am 31 weeks today, and had my growth scan. They are estimating my baby boy to be around 4.6 Lbs (72%). I am certainly glad he is a healthy boy, but scared for my vagina!

    Do your perineum massages and know that your body was made for this girl! Breath through it. Don't push! Haha. It'll have time to stretch if it's not forced

    My son was 9.7 and I had to have an episiotomy, you'll be fine, they stitch you. You heal, and it'll barely be noticeable. Plus the vagina does a really good job at stretching to get a baby human out !!

    My last son was supposed to be a big boy too. They were guessing around 9 lbs and when he was born he weighed 7.6. Don't worry too much, they're not always correct with weight guesses.

    My son was 8#7.5oz when he was born! I have a feeling my little girl will be around 9#. Both my kids have measured big. Don't worry you'll be just fine! I had a second degree tear with my son and didn't feel it happen! Hang in there!

    I'm scared because my first was 8.6 2 weeks early! I had a 4th degree tear, and she broke her collar bone... I have voiced my concerns about this one being so large already, and have reminded them of the difficult delivery I had with her. I'm so nervous that this is going to be worse! I don't really want to be induced, but the thought has crossed my mind!

    My son was 9.7 lbs and they broke his collar bone, and gave him nerve damage up the left side of his neck and face. They estimated him to be about 7.5-8 lbs max...They are considering giving me a section 2 weeks early or inducing me early to avoid complications, here we normally just see a regular pregnancy doctor, and only see an obstetrician if we have problems during pregnancy, I'll be seeing one within the next couple weeks to determine the size of the baby and if I'll be able to have him naturally. You should ask for more tests to be done as well !!
