Just Right
At the doctor’s office I go to, there are 2 paths to choose from: seeing doctors or midwives. I have chosen the midwives. There are 3 that I rotate between. Now that it is close to my due date they have each felt the baby in my tummy and offered up a guess as to how much the baby will weigh at birth. The first said 7 pounds, 3 ounces. The second said 7 pounds, 4 ounces. A nurse gave a more wide ranged guess of 7 to 7 1/2 pounds (then added “not more than you can deliver”). I see the third midwife Tuesday. We’ll see what she says. Then we’ll see how close they end up being. If they’re not far off (which they’re probably not going to be WAY far off), that’s a good size: healthy but not huge. Like the nurse said, “not more than you can deliver”. I sure hope so! I’ve heard of babies well over 10 pounds. Apparently I don’t have a baby that size in me (and if I did, wouldn’t I be able to tell?).
