I always thought i would like a smaller baby but my sil just had a 5lb 8oz baby and whilst he is lovely and tiny i really wouldnt know what to do with one that size, he just looked so fragile.
Like your oh says she is healthy and try not to get to upset as there is nothing you can do except like you said see if they will induce you at 37 weeks like your other two. I have to have a scan at 36 weeks to check on the size and if this one is big they might induce at 38 or 39 weeks but hopefully i dont feel as big as last time.
good luck and take care.

Best of luck- focus on the positive, you can't do anything to stop her growing and she's healthy. xxxxxxx
