Hi mama,
I hear you’re concerned that your baby may be too heavy or large for natural birth?
Truth is, most ftm birth naturally at 41.3weeks and, if you read about big babies, it’s not necessarily a cause for a c-section. There’s an evidence based article regarding this that you might be interested to read. There’s an audio file that you can listen to as well:

Further, scans are not as accurate as we’d like them to be and are very often a few hundred grams off.
My gynae told me that I’d be birthing a 3.6kg baby or thereabouts but he rushed to weigh my son when he was out and he weighed 4.019kgs :) and yes, he was birthed naturally.
I always believe we will be given babies suited for our bodies. Birth is physiological - or mamas before us without all the science and medicine would not have been able to birth so bravely and confidently :)
Whatever you decide mama, it’s your choice :)
