A member asked:
36wks+5 & baby is already 7lbs. i've only gained 15lbs whole pregnant so im small. was told anything over 7.5 will be hard, is it likely i'll be induced?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Big baby: A bigger baby is not a great reason for induction. It hasn't been shown to improve your chance of a vaginal delivery. Most babies at this point in pregnancy gain about 1/2 lb a week. So your baby may be around 8 1/2 lbs at your due date. That is a good sized baby but not excessively large (macrosomic). Good luck!
