Growth u/s update

So I saw the MFM doctor and he said the baby is measuring around 8ibs (I am 38 weeks) and the head is measuring 40 weeks 3 days and everything else is between 38-39 weeks. He is also practice breathing…yay! He measured 7ibs 10oz around 35 weeks. So it's good news that I won't need to be induced, but I won't know if I can deliver a baby that size (I am very petite) until I go into labor. So now we sit and wait for Gabriel's big debut lol

Happy to hear he's doing well And yay for practice breathing!

I hope your delivery goes as smoothly as possible!

eta: I love the name Gabriel!

I hope you have the labor you want! Will they let you birth in different positions?

I never asked - I am planning to get an epidural so I don't think I can once that's done…I would really like a room with a bath, but I am not sure if my hospital will offer that, I will have to ask at my apt. on Wednesday.

It's very rare that a woman carries a baby she can't birth. You can do it!
