[quote=Anonymous]An efw is an estimated fetal weight. There are four measurements: femur, abdominal circumference, head circumference and biparamital diameter. 50% of the weight is on a body part that is wedged into the pelvis ie often not a great measurement. That is why they tell you plus minus a pound. Babies gain about a half pound per week after 36 weeks. So, don't go crazy eating, get plenty of rest and exercise the best that you can. If your baby is truely to large to come out you'll see signs ahead of time or during labor ie moulding before your pushing, stalled labor despite adequate contractions with an iupc etc...trust your body and remember us are tricky there is a moving target and some human error involved. I wish you an easy delivery. Ie safe no matter how he she comes out...not the process but the outcome. [/quote]
