Big baby

Hey everyone so today is my due date with my first baby! I had a growth scan yesterday and baby is currently 8lb 6 they have booked me in for an induction on 20th May by then baby will be around 9lb 6. I am slightly worried as I am only 5ft2 and I’m not skinny but im not massive size 12. Should I be worried about the size of my baby, I didn’t have much confidence in the what I was told by the midwifes and other stories I have heard so thought I would see what people say on here. Thanks in advance

These growth scans are not 100% hun. They said my, daughter was 8 pound when she arrived term plus 5 she eas 7pounds on the dot. Try not to worry too much they'll do what they believe is, best for you both.

Good luck

💝😘
