honestly, I've been running every morning. My doctor advised me that I can exercise. plus i take EPO vaginally and orally. still nothing. He just moves around most of the time like a tsunami in my belly.. i really dont have a choice. if he grows bigger by next week, i get induced.. or else, im getting a c section(which i dont wanna happen)

Its your decision, i say for you to speak to your dr. And try to wait as long as possible to have him natural. Try walking a lot and drink lots of water. Walking helped me dialate faster.

You can choose to refuse this, I know many who were told the same exact thing being even smaller who had healthy babies that were not even large.

Its impossible to determine baby's size in utero, so unless your baby is in danger then speak up! Docs always push for what will make them the most money.
