“I just came from my 32-week appointment, and my doctor says I measured 35 weeks.

I’m afraid my baby will be too big to deliver vaginally.”

But guessing how big they are is just that a big guess.

Ask Heidi Murkoff

Most of the time, there’s a harmless explanation.

Or you may have auterine fibroidor extra amniotic fluid (neither of which is necessarily a big deal).

Your best bet is to continue eating healthily (and plentifully) for the remainder of your pregnancy.

Ask Heidi Murkoff

Try not to worry about the scale or the measuring tape.

And whether your baby comes out at 6 pounds or 9, the day he arrives will be thrilling.

Here’s to an easy delivery and a healthy baby!
