[quote=Anonymous]After an ultrasounds I was told my baby was large with a very large head. The OB and I discussed just scheduling a c-section, but decided to go with a trial of labor, pushing b/c ultrasound measurements are only an estimate and you never know how your body will respond. Labor went smoothly, three hours of pushing and baby wouldn't budge. Had a c-section and he came out 7 ozs under what they estimated (10 lbs) with a 99% head (his pediatrician would always measure his head two or three times during well baby checks). Second baby - scheduled c-section and the doctor and nurse felt my belly and guessed the weight right before c-section and they were both spot on within ounces and thus was also exactly whatnot ultrasound a few days earlier indicated as well. Contrary to what some believe, OBs, OB nurses, and ultrasound techs do know what they are doing. However, ultrasound fetal weight are obviously only an estimate.[/quote]
