Well I went for my last ultrasound today and baby weighs about 8.1 lbs and is measuring 40 weeks and some days as far as his head and abdomen my uterus is measuring 39 weeks 😨 but my Dr won't change my due date 😕 has anyone else experienced this and how did it turn out? Did you have the baby "early" ?

If that's the case then try self inducing like fresh pineapple, spicy foods, having sex and nipple stimulation. I know baby will come when ready but if baby is grown full term then why not!

That's strange that they won't change the due date!

Some babies are just bigger than others. Doctors wont change the due date unless the early ultrasounds show that the baby is actually measuring at a later gestation. If the doctor doesn't seem worried, you should be ok. I wouldn't stress too much.

DONT try to self induce just because it seems baby is grown to full term. Because it could be off. Wait and see what the dr says. They most likely won't change your due date this far in your pregnancy. They might do an ultrasound to see how big baby could be.

Yes that is what I was thinking @1sttimemummy @bentleysmomma I had spicy food for dinner bad thing about it is I went to the hospital twice last week and they stopped my contractions with medication bc we didn't know how big baby was and I was supposedly only 34 weeks pregnant

They did do an ultrasound, that's what told her how big he is today @santistevanmommie

@arivera64, ok I understand that thanks for that info :) @santistevanmommie I'm not going to do anything crazy to try and self induce but I might walk around the block while I am having contractions lol they did do the ultrasound today and said baby is measuring full term

Yes also keep in mind ba y can be measuring ahead for size, but if he isn't full term he could still have trouble breathing and even eating properly. Try to do your best and trust your doctor and your body. Everything will be great

the dr also said no wonder my uterus is trying to push him out its tired of holding him lol and yes @arivera64 I am kinda concerned about that I have been having contractions all evening too doesn't matter what I do I have laid down, sat up, walked around but nothing is working...

Well if he comes on his own there isn't much you can do about that. I hope he stays in a bit longer or that if he does come early that he's born nice and healthy. Best of luck mama
