[QUOTE="Gemma_x500, post: 1501004, member: 416201"] Hi there everyone, I'm new to this forum so please excuse me whilst I get the grip of things! As the title says my baby is measuring big. I'm 33 weeks pregnant however my little bundle is measuring in around 36/37 weeks and is 5.9lbs. I'm type 1 diabetic since childhood so I've always known I'll be brought in a little earlier than normal (38/39 weeks). However I was shocked today... I say shocked as in near fell off the chair!! because the doctor was going to bring me in this week to have steroids for my babies lungs because he was going to induce me in 2 weeks or less. However he and the consultants decided to wait 2 weeks to re-scan baby (trying to get me as close to 38 weeks) and if she's still measuring a lot bigger then they're keeping me in to have the steroids and then the following week or so they're inducing me. It would mean that I'd be 36 weeks or so.. Anyway my question is has anyone ever had this done or heard of anyone being brought in that early? Sorry for the long post, Thanks in advance! [/QUOTE]
