[quote=Anonymous]Don't worry too much OP. Some things to consider: were you a big baby? Did your mother delivery you vaginally with minimal problems? If yes to both, you'll probably be fine! Are you planning to have an epidural? It can make labor take longer and pushing more difficult. Do you have GD? As far as the baby's size, the real concern is the size of the baby's head and shoulders in proportion to your pelvis. If he has a HUGE head/shoulders (and he probably doesn't if you're not GD) and your pelvis is too small ( if your mom had successful vaginal births it's probably not) you'll find out in labor and a c-section will be an option. Don't sweat it too much. The actual evidence says that the US measurements at this stage in pregnancy can be off by two pounds, either way. If you're not GD, it's extremely unlikely you're going to have a 12 pounder!!! I'd let baby cook out as long as he needs to, especially if he's your first.[/quote]
