UPDATE - on my 36 week Dr. Appointment
So I went to the doctor. 2 weeks ago, I was measuring right on track at 34 weeks, today I am measuring at 38 weeks ....
The doctor kept saying "omg, you are gonna have a HUGE baby"
She asked me when my last sono was and I said my Level II (at 20 weeks) because at my 3d sono they did not do any measurements.
When I go back in 2 weeks, they are doing a growth sono and then we may need to talk about scheduling a c-section.
The doctor said that the measurement could be because of the way Miki was laying but she is putting her money on me having a "huge" baby

Re: UPDATE - on my 36 week Dr. Appointment
I say take it with a grain of salt.... With DS, they told me he'd be about 8.5 lbs, but he ended up being 10+lbs. I had a sono last week and they told me the baby was measuring 6lbs 8oz at 35 weeks. So we'll see.
How was the Strep B?

They let me do the strep b myself so it was fine.... I get the results on my next visit. I wonder how big the baby has to be for them to do a c-section...like what is the cutoff? I should have asked them that
The doctor said that the ultrasound tech is very good, she has only been off an ounce or two with her measurements so we'll see. My next appointment is on March 8th (my last day of work)
I am just happy to get to see the baby again, it feels like forever since I have seen her

my little love was a sleeper, not an eater..when you saw him he was so much smaller he lost almost a pound!
At my 39 week appt, dr decided to opt for c section. 38 weeks I had growth sono...measured at a little over 9 lbs. They said give or take 10%. He was born 9.7. He never dropped, no contractions..I asked to wait till my due date, doctor agreed.
C section was really great. Recovery was easy, baby latched. I am doing c-section again with #2 when the time comes.

Not sure what the cut off is... I'm sure it depends on the doctor, your physical frame, health of baby, etc... Who knows maybe she'll decide to come on her own before your next visit.
My doc will probably induce me before she schedules a c-section since I've delivered a 10lb 3oz baby vaginally. I don't know what it is but the idea of a c-section scares me personally. Unless it's medically necessary I'd like to avoid it at all costs.

-------------------------------------------------------
This was my experience too! My DD was 9.6 and I am glad I had a c-section (for the same reason- dr. predicted a large baby). I was told if the baby looks to be 10 pounds or more and if there are no signs of labor, that's when the schedule a c-section.
