I am 41 and 6/7 weeks pregnant... so tomorrow will be 42 weeks pregnant. I am beyond frustrated. had my stress test, had an ultrasound because they are afraid the baby is getting too big..well isn't that just a sherlock holmes moment. Two weeks ago monday, the baby weighed 8 lbs 10 oz, by their best guess. My induction is scheduled to "start" on Feb. 5th and be completed on the 6th. I know that baby gains approximately 1/2 lb or more per week at the end. So that being said, what are the chances that I could still deliver this child vaginally if he starts to hit upwards of 10-11 lbs. My two previous were 9lbs 4oz and 8lbs 3oz. both 41 weeks overdue. I am afraid that they have screwed around for so long that i will end up with a c-section.
Any thoughts or comments or anything at this point is welcomed. And i'm looking to hear that moms have delivered babies that were over the 10 lb. mark. Thanks so much ladies.

My grandmother was 41 years old and delivered a 10lb8oz 22inch long baby boy. Without medication. Yes it can be and has been done.
