[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Both of mine were overdue and had extra scans right around the due date. Both were estimated around 9 lbs. The first was just under 8 and the second was 10.5

I remember the estimates get less reliable the closer you are to 40 weeks because of the head position, but I don't know how reliable 36 weeks may be. Probably better than mine a day or so before each was born.

I induced the first at 40w1d and it was not a good experience so I asked to hold out a little longer with the second (expecting to have a similar sized baby). I went into labor overnight right before I was scheduled for an induction at 40w5d. The labor/delivery experience better, however, there were issues for the baby and me due to size.

Doctors told me they would never have me go 40w again if I had more kids. In my case "prediction of big baby" would be based on previously very big baby and measurements.[/quote]

What was the issue with your induction? Was it just very painful?[/quote]
