My baby was big at last ultrasound. can i have her naturally at term or should i get delivered a few weeks early?

Wait and see: Current medical literature recommends observation for spontaneous labor until at least 39 weeks gestation, regardless of estimated fetal weight.. If there is suspicion that your baby is excessively big (estimated to be over about 10 pounds) then cesarean delivery may be indicated. A trial of labor is still appropriate in most cases, as only about 1 in 4 women in america will require a cesarean.

Why do my babies lips look sooo big in the ultrasound at 37 weeks ?
I had my 16 weeks ultrasound yesterday. Today I noticed the ultrasound looked like the baby was blowing a huge bubble attached to its mouth (probably as big as the babies head). The only ultrasound I found that looked like it showed a teratoma?
The last few mornings I have woken up with very damp under wear. Not saturated, but damp. 4 days ago ultrasound showed babies had great amniotic fluid around them but I am nervous. 18w5d, does it sound normal or like im leaking fluid?? No smell/pain?
