At home, the ultrasound showed 6 pounds, but at the county hospital, it was 8 and a half pounds.

Patient's question:

Now the due date has passed. The doctor at the county hospital said to give an injection for a normal delivery in these days, saying that the longer the child stays inside, the harder the head becomes, and it will be difficult to deliver properly. The doctor at home suggested waiting until contractions start before going, as the ultrasound at home showed 6 pounds, but the check at the county hospital showed 8 and a half pounds. Which should I believe?

Doctor's answer:

This is all about calculation, and there is no specific definite answer, just for reference. Based on your situation, it is recommended to follow the doctor's advice for symptomatic treatment according to the clinical diagnosis. Family members may not be as clear about the clinical diagnosis as the doctor. The above is the advice for the question "When doing a home ultrasound, it showed 6 pounds, but at the county hospital, it was 8 and a half pounds. Which should I believe?" I hope it helps you, and wish you good health!
