Hmm...

Okay, so the last time the baby was weighed was at 27 weeks & 1 day I believe. They said the baby was a bit above average in size (not by much, 56th percentile). But now everyone is thinking that because I am so tiny & he is getting so big that I may have to have a c-section. I will be 30 weeks on Monday & I'm getting nervous about labor. I would much rather do it vaginally, but I may not have a choice. Any advice for a nervous mommy to be?

That's silly, you always have a choice unless medically necessary. Women have big babies vaginally all the time. My mom was pretty tiny and had a 10 lb baby. You can decline. Plus ultra sounds can be way off! It doesn't mean your baby is going to be big.

Classic. No, u/s can be way off when determining weight. Just because you are small does not mean you won't be able to push out a child. You do have a choice unless it becomes an emergency that concerns you and/or your baby's health.

They told me that my daughter looked too big and that I might have to have a c section as well. I had her vaginally with no problem. I wouldnt worry about it. For some reason, I'm seeing that docs [at least the ones I hear about on here anyway] are getting c section happy.  

I was told dd was going to be 10 lbs+ and don't be surprised if they have to rush me into a csection (I wouldn't induce or schedule one). She was 6 lbs and I had no problems.

Okay awesome, makes me feel better lol. A girl I know just had a baby girl a few weeks ago & had to have a c-section because she was too big. So that, on top of what others have been saying was making me paranoid. Of course, lol...I just that's just part of being pregnant.

You can always refuse a csection btw
