Hmm, have you thought of asking for a second opinion? Baby weight is usually inaccurate and the only real way of finding out is when the baby is born. I also know of many cases where a doctor pushes for induction but the baby weighs much lesser than their prediction. Sometimes the predicted weight is due to large amounts of amniotic fluid. My SIL was for example was also told that her baby would be 3.8kg but in the end, he was only 2.8kg. That’s a whole kilo lesser. Plus, Induction contractions are known to be more painful because it only produces the oxytocins to trigger labour but not the chemical that helps cope with the pain. If your health condition is good and the baby is not in jeopardy, I would strongly suggest getting a second opinion. Have someone measure your fundal length instead. Even with an epidural, inducing labour before full term is not encouraged. There’s a reason why a 37 weeks newborn is still considered preterm and needs to be observed closely.
