6 1/2 lbs at 35 weeks!

So, I went for an ultrasound to check LO growth the other day and the u/s tech estimated him to be about 61/2 lbs already...which means he is about two weeks ahead of schedule since I am only 35 weeks tomorrow.  I'm a little nervous that he will be too big to deliver if I make it to 40 weeks and I will have to have a c-section.  I'm hoping his growth slows down a bit but maybe my Dr. will agree to induce me a little early to avoid a c-section! I was born at 9lb 3oz with complications, my shoulder dislocated, my mom hemorrhaged, and I had a bowl movement while in the birth canal because it took over 3 hours for my mom to push! Granted this was 23 years ago but I really don't want a c-section or any of those complications!
