Concern on big baby
I am 39+1 week pregnant and due on xmas day but was told baby was 9lb on a growth scan at 38 week so scared I am gonna go over and have a huge baby. Anyone been in this position before any advice?

If they were concerned that baby was going to be too big they would be discussing induction/section with you...
Growth scans are not always accurate - my Eldest was guesstimated to be 7lbs 9 but came at 41wks weighing 9lbs, next was guesstimated to be 8lbs 3 but she was born at 41wks weighing 7lbs12, my twins were the closest guesstimated at 5.5lbs...girl spot on whilst boy 6lbs.
Well they were gonna induce me but the second constulant said no. But the first was like I think she should. So I didn't get induced in the end but I can tell by huge bump it's gonna be massive. Plus I think this baby will be late. I know it has to come out one way or another just a little scared xx
At 39 weeks they said my baby was 9lb he arrived at 40+4 weighing 9lb5 so pretty bang on for me good luck xx
Totally understand the fear factor! I am 34+4 and a scan today estimated baby at 6lb 13oz already!!!! As I have just been diagnosed with gestational diabetes I'm told they will induce me, seeing my consultant on Friday so hoping it's sooner rather than later!!
