Due date 6th of Feb, but baby measuring big so c section?

Had another appointment today because baby measuring big. Is anyone in the same boat. I had the same with my last he ended up being 8lb11 with emergency c section at 38weeks. Now there telling me this baby girl is plotting at 11lbs if left to my due date !! So scaring me a little. Always wanted a natural birth for my first and again for this one. Now I'm seeing it repeat all over again needing a c section feeling gutted. Anyone had anything similar? Any advice. Just wanted a vent really đź’“

Going through exactly the same, our first was 8lb 14 and brought via c section after 4 days of failed induction at exactly 39 weeks, 2nd is due feb 17th but they have scheduled a section for 10th feb at 39 weeks due to size, i was really hoping for a natural birth this time but have been told it is not possible due to size and 1 in 200 chance of scar rupture, no advice but i know how you feel.xx

Is this with growth scans and consultant care? Are you on the vbac uk support group on facebook? It's amazing for advice and guidance . Also worth researching nice guidelines. Sending lots of love x

Very similar situation, also wanted to try for a VBAC but told baby is going to be at least 11lbs at 40 weeks. I've been booked for the balloon catheter induction on Wednesday but to be honest I'm still not sure I'm going to go through with it x
