The doctor I saw yesterday said he’s worried that the baby and I won’t make it through delivery safely because I’m overweight and the baby is estimated to be 9lbs 7oz. AND IS MAKING ME WAIT UNTIL TOMORROW FOR ANSWERS! Like if you’re so worried that the baby is too big why the eff are you making me wait and letting the baby get bigger?! IM AREADY OVER DUE AND NOW IM SITTING HERE HAVING PANICK ATTACKS NIT KNOWING WTF IS GONNA HAPPEN!
Your doctor sounds like an idiot. My son was estimated to weigh 6lbs. He was born, literally, the next day weighing 9lbs9oz. He was born vaginally, with no complications. I was not overweight when I had him- I’m 5’2.
Omg id be pissed off too. I can’t stand the unneeded wait. Your previous doctor won’t remember, they’ll dig through your file, then read whatever they wrote. He should know enough right now to make a sound decision. The doc who delivered my son tried getting me to have a c-section 16 hours into labor. I told her “NO, I’m about to just push him out.” She said, “do it then...” so I did. She started yelling for me to stop because he was coming out and she wasn’t prepared. I still hate her. Good luck @missyhedberg214,
@mckallalynn.., that’s exactly what I’m thinking. My first was estimated to be almost 10 lbs and was only 8lbs 6oz
@mckallalynn.., he’s going to talk to the doctor that delivered my first baby. I HATE the doctor I have now. And I can’t get in with my old doctor because she’s literally always full. Seriously wish this baby would just decide to come. 😭
my dr wouldn't even give me an estimated baby weight. i'm overweight older and didht have any issues lo was 9lbs
