Mine is about the same. They told me 7.4 pounds but she is measuring in the 80% for everything so she's not considered big. Plus it's just an estimate. Those things are rarely right
I just can't wait to see all these beautiful babies!! I was sent to l&d today for my blood pressure and I was like nooooo I want an October baby ? but as long as he is healthy!
Gosh my boy feels big too lol. I've never had a growth scan either but I wouldn't doubt that he may be the biggest. In actuality, I'm just being a baby about how achy he is making me lol.
I think the only reason they gave me one was to get an idea since I'm at risk for preeclampsia. But it is nice to know an estimate. Makes me feel more prepared ?
What do they do exactly to see how big they are? by ultrasound?? My last was 9.3, and I feel like this one may be 10lbs. Hopefully they can measure me Friday to see how big he is!
Little man was 5 lbs 12 oz at 33 weeks, give or take a half a lb, my next growth scan is 2 weeks from now at 37 weeks. I'm scared to see how big he will be then. Ha
I have had like 3 or 4 this pregnancy because my babies umbilical cord has a defect. They just do an ultrasound and measure the bones in the legs, arms head and then the stomach and then calculate that to give you a percentile of where your baby lies and then an estimated weight

That's why I said estimate in capital letters, never said that it was accurate or that he was big :P

37 weeks and only 5 pounds 14 ounces :( doc is concerned because she's measuring 2 weeks small after always being exactly on time

I didn't get one! When do you get it? I'm 36 weeks already
Krystal Ryan·
Do you have another ultrasound scheduled? That's probably when they'll do it :)

My doctor said no more ultrasounds for me :( they only do 2! One to confirm pregnancy and one to find out gender!

Awe man that stinks! I guess it will be a surprise :)
