another appt down.....

Had another appt. with the specialist yesterday. My amniotic fluid is within normal range now, so that's good. They estimated Grasshopper's weight to be 6lbs 11oz with a plus/minus 1lb margin of error. So, of course the doctor continues to be concerned that he is going to be big. He mentioned concern that I won't be able to have a natural birth if he's too big. I truly, honestly feel that he's not as big as they're estimating, and that my body would be able to deliver an 8 or 9lb baby, but I'm no doctor. The specialist frustrated me b/c I feel like he is trying to dictate when Grasshopper should come. I continue to stand firm in not wanting to be induced before 39wks. I told the doctor I would continue to discuss all of this with my midwife since he's not the one delivering anyway. Unfortunately, the specialist wants to see me again on Sept. 3rd to "estimate" Grasshopper's weight AGAIN! I'm going to check with my midwife at next weeks appt. to see if it's really necessary that I go, since the tech in her office can "estimate" his weight as well. Just 50 more days until my due date : )
