39wk checkup

So this afternoon I had pretty much my 39wk check up. For about the
past two weeks I have been having contractions on and off which I am
told is normal though I never experienced with my other two pregnancies. Last Sunday we were in L/D and they thought for sure we were going to have the baby but after 14hours never got past a 3cm and sent me home with 3 mins apart contractions. I haven't been check since Sunday and I have had a lot more pressure and takes me forever to walk anywhere and I have been making it a point to at least walk for 3 hours a day. At my last appointment I was told baby be between 7-8pounds which sounds like good size to me.

Today I go in figuring I would most likely be check cause almost 39wks and I haven't been checked since Sunday. All he did was check my BP, measure my
belly, and hear the babies heart beat. Baby sounds great but now we are
talking about a 9lbs baby. I have had one 9lb baby that almost ended up
in a c-section and was a horrible labor experience cause she was so
big. So I was there a big 5 mins and got next Fridays appointment
scheduled. I am so afraid that the baby is going to be too big that I
have to have a c-section and I will literally freak out. Last week he
told me we would talk about ways to help labor along or even induction
since I have never gone into labor naturally and always seem to have to
get help at the end. But there was no talk about it at all. Not that I want to be induced I would love to go into labor on my own but right now I am starting to freak out on the whole size issue and being in so much pain. Like I said before never experienced this at all with either one of my other pregnancies.

Thanks for reading feel a bit better typing it all down.
