Update on measuring ahead

Went to the FMD (Fetal Medicine Doctor) yesterday. I am in fact 33 weeks and 3 days (not 36-37 weeks). We got to see baby girl as well. We have to go back in three weeks to get more measurements and scans just to make sure everything is good. The FMD was upset that we didn’t see him sooner (I didn’t get the referral until 3 months ago and they were booked out), but baby is head down and is giving me all the issues. lol (always kicking me in my rib cage and leaving bruises). I will however say that the thing I don’t like about this new doctor is he is trying to talk me into not having a c-section and into having more children. **Pictures in the comments from the ultrasound if anyone is interested**

Aaaww look at that angel.. congratulations. I'm sorta in the same boat. My baby has been measuring big. Come to find out I have GD. I'm 34 weeks and they are trying to get me to 37 before taken him. He is heads down and it really hurts. I feel ur pain Definitely stand up for what u want. This is ur time.

My Dr's tried to talk me out of my c section too, even though I had 3 different medical diagnoses that contraindicate vaginal birth. It's riskier to have a c section technically speaking, with infection and what can go wrong so a lot of Dr's, hospitals, surgeons, pressure moms to try vaginal because they're trying to have one less person who could become a liability to their practices 🫠

My dude has consistently measured a week to two weeks ahead on femur length and head circumference but they haven’t moved my due date since I am certain of lmp. I usually don’t make it to 40 weeks so I’m expecting him to be about 1-2 weeks early. He has been head down since 28 weeks and is definitely running out of room in there at this point. I have my final scan Tuesday so I guess I’ll see if he is still ahead then.

I am honestly wanting to induce labor at 36-38 weeks because this pain is unbearable currently (if they won’t do a c-section). I literally can’t get out of bed without crying/almost crying. But my doctors don’t seem concerned. It’s “normal”. Is it normal to feel like one wrong move and she is going to come out? lol this may be tmi, but every time I go to the bathroom, it hurts and it’s almost as if I can feel my cervix opening up.
