At least they are keeping on top of it so you know if bubs is big they'll prob try to start you off a little earlier to prevent a repeat of what happened last time xxx
my next door neighbours 1st was 10lb2 and a c-section. she got told her 2nd was going to be over 10lb too and had to have another section and she was only 7lb! so its not always right! xx

Understandably after your last experience you don't want another repeat.
Carlybarley, can I ask, when they induced you 2 weeks early, how was the birth? did you have to have forceps / ventouse etc.? I'm really paranoid that if they induce me early it's going to be a difficult birth, but then if they don't it will probably be a difficult birth anyway!!
thanks x
all the way through my pregnancy i was mesuring 3 weeks ahead, and every mw or doctor who felt my bump said my baby was big. i had a growth scan at 36 wks, was told baby was 6lb 11oz at that point!!!
well anywho when i had Isaac he was 10 days late and weighed 8lb 13.5oz! So not too big after all
