Ultrasound exams are notoriously inaccurate for predicting the weight of your baby 🚫
An ultrasound gives an estimate of the weight of your baby, but this estimate can be off a pound or more in either direction 😳
This estimation of fetal weight is often used as a push for induction or planned cesarean 🙅🏻♀️
❓Were you told that you were going to have a big baby?
❓Was induction suggested due to your baby measuring large?
❓Did your doctor recommend an elective cesarean based on the estimated size of your baby?
I can’t even tell you the number of women who have told me they were induced or agreed to a c-section due to being told that they were going to have a big baby, only to give birth to a 6-7 lb peanut 👶🏻
🔅HERE’S WHAT WE KNOW🔅
✅It is generally not advisable to make decisions about induction or a planned cesarean section based solely on estimated fetal weight.
✅Women have given birth to 10+ lb babies without even a knick to their perineum.
✅Your body has an innate intelligence and was built for birth.
“Women’s bodies have near-perfect knowledge about childbirth; it’s when their brains get involved that things can go wrong.” - Peggy Vincent
