So i'm measuring at 42 weeks (as of last wednesday at 37 weeks) and I wanted to see if anyone else went though this?
I know it could be more fluid, or he might just be big. But I was also thinking, that my boys had big heads and were born at 37 weeks. And this one hasn't dropped any more, but I think if he were to drop anymore, he'd be out. I had vag. births with them. I am starting to wonder if maybe he has a large head, or is to big so he might not be able to 'drop' anymore, or start labor on his own? (does that mase sense?)
I know every pregnancy is different, so I am just tossing out ideas. I have an appointment tomorrow, but I'm bored, and thinking about random stuff. lol
Try not to overthink things.
You have done this before. They had big heads... You did it-- you can do it again.
If you have a "proven pelvis" then you are a normal-healthy-safe-fine mom.
The pelvis is not one fixed bone. The bones can seperate a lot! If you squat you can open the outlet over 30%, too! (That is a lot!) And baby's (big?) head will mold (fold inward) as well.
Even if your baby is/will be "big" there are more reasons that things will be fine than not.

Birth is not only about making babies. Birth is about making mothers ~ strong, competent, capable mothers who trust themselves and know their inner strength.

I have been measuring 7 weeks ahead since I was 29 week. I have been severely uncomfortable. They gave my a third ultrasound when I was 35 weeks and found out that my LO was growing right on track. So I asked my midwife why I measuring so big and she said it could be because that I have so much amniotic fluid. Mine measured at a 14 which is a good amount. I hate being this big just because I CANNOT move half the time!!!
i measured 2 weeks ahead with both girls
dd#1 was 9pds 4 at 39 weeks 5 days
dd#2 was 9 pds 12.3 at 39 weeks 5 days
maybe the baby is just big
