So many people have said not to worry about it and it's just a guesstimate and not accurate.
BUT WHAT IF IT IS 8 lbs?
Holy......how the heck? My Birth Plan was to have a quick and painless 10 minute delivery with a cute little healthy baby, not a Sumo Wrestling size baby.
Okay, I'm starting to panic now. What if Critter decides it never wants to come out but wants to stay inside me and keep growing and growing? It may grow to be bigger than that 19lb baby in Indonesia.
What if I can't deliver this super sized kid naturally? I don't want to be cut up!
I'm starting to regret every sugar laced item I ate, every bowl of Asian noodle soup I ordered, every plate of Biryani I devoured; always helping myself to a second portion, every scoop of Ralph's creme Ices I stuffed into my mouth. THOSE DARN CRAVINGS!!!!
I blame everyone around me. That's it! It's everyone's fault....not mine. NO ONE stopped me from indulging. People told me to eat whatever I wanted, that I'm eating for two. Well, gosh darn it, while I'm struggling in that delivery room to push a heifer out and in major pain, those same people are gonna be sitting on their comfy sofas pain free eating a meal.
While many people say it doesn't look like I gained 45 pounds. I HAVE! That's 10 pounds more than what is recommended gain weight during a pregnancy. Some of the weight gain is in my Butt and Thighs but it's now obvious all those extra pounds are on the baby.....a big fat pudgy baby that's gonna be too big to pass through my birth canal without tearing me from here to California!

Oh my gosh, I'm so stressed out. I need some chocolate!
Trust me, those sonograms can be up to 2 lbs off! I've had friends who scheduled a c-section because the sonogram estimated their baby to be 9 lbs, and when the kid was born it was 7. Don't stress, your body wouldn't make a baby that you couldn't push out.
ReplyDeleteHeifer. That's funny.
ReplyDeleteIt'll be a cute little ball of pudge that you'll love.
Good luck and relax. It'll come out all right.
You really don't look like you gained 45 pounds. You wear it well.
ReplyDeleteNo point in stressing about it. The baby will come out one way or another.
Stephanie,
ReplyDeleteReally? They can be up to 2lbs off?
So you mean there's a possibility that this baby can be 10lbs?! Yikes.
Seriously.....thanks for all the encouragement.
Yes, but your baby could also weigh 2 pounds less than what they're estimating.
ReplyDeleteIf you asked me to guess I'd say between 7-7 1/2 lbs based on your belly.
