To Labor.....or Cut!

Today I had my 36 (?) week appt. According to the dr I'm a couple of days shy of 36wks. According to me, I'm about 38wks. Well, we discussed my concerns about delivering a baby over 8lbs due to complications with Pickle. Each of my kids has been 3oz and 1/2" bigger than the one before so it stands to reason that the Princess will be at least 8.6lbs and 21" long. When delivering Pickle, we did not know quite what to expect and he was born with shoulder dystocia and hip dysplasia (requiring him to be in a Pavlic harness for 3mos). I was told then that if I ever was to have another baby, do not deliver one over 8lbs. That brings us to now. My current dr wants me to strongly consider an elective c/s at 39wks if it seems she'll be a big baby. Now I'm not against c/s; my first was a c/s. Heck, they can pull the baby out of my big toe if it's the safest method. I just don't relish the idea of recovering from a c/s with a newborn and two toddlers underfoot. So after our discussion and agreeing that an u/s should be done in two weeks to get a size estimate, I told him I think she weighs at least 6lbs now and he didn't doubt me. He said he gives as much if not more credence to mom's intuition as those last minute u/s which can be a pound off either way. Then he measured me. HA! I've been saying all along I think I'm further along than he's calculating,but numbers are numbers. Guess what? I'm suddenly measuring 2-3wks ahead! He seemed surprised,but I didn't. He's still considering me about 36wks though so I just have to sit tight and wait to see if I go into full labor first or to what he's got as my 39wks mark and cut! As if I needed more to be anxious about! LOL
