How accurate are growth scans?
I go for one next week,and they never really talked about it with my other two pregnancies.

They’re gestimates. They can be pretty close to accurate or they could be way off. It’s hard to tell once babe is bigger.

Growth scans were wrong for all three of my kids lol Oldest was a premie and they said the week before birth he was 3 pounds he was 7.6
Middle child they said she was 8 pounds she was born at just over 5 lol
Youngest they said he was 7 pounds and came out just under 10 🙊

I go in for mine cause my belly is measuring ahead and he's been putting so much pressure on me in so many ways. So I'm hoping it's just extra fluid and him just sitting funny, but he feels bigger than my other two.. and I still have a while to go 😅

They can be around 2lbs off either direction

I’m measuring four weeks ahead so have had a growth scan and I was told they are pretty accurate. I guess though sometimes they can get it wrong. They are more reliable then bump size x

They are more reliable the farther along you are & the less active baby is during the scan! At 35+ if it’s not accurate it’s only off by a couple ounces, not whole pounds like it can be earlier on.

So it should be pretty close at 34+4? Cause I feel like this baby is already big, but I don't want them saying he's too big and trying to send me in earlier than 38weeks.

Does that really happen? I haven’t heard of an OB or midwife inducing early just because of size unless there were medical issues. I’m 35 today & he measured 7lbs2oz this morning, measuring right on track from how far ahead he’s been this whole pregnancy. He’s been dropped & engaged right at the canal since 30, I’ve lost my mucus plug & im super thin already, but my OB & my midwife both want me to go as long as I can. They just said if I were to go into labor at this point they wouldn’t stop it.

Yes, surprisingly it does. And they talked about sending me in dooming cause my belly was measuring bigger, cause I'm really small built.. my last baby was only 7.9 and almost snapped my tailbone. So they don't want him getting too big. My ob tries to avoid c sections unless absolutely necessary (and the thought of one terrifies me).

I guess that makes sense then with your previous experience! But I agree I wouldn’t let them before at least 37/38 too!

Yeah, and I definitely don't want to go before 38! That way I know for sure he will be healthy and his lungs are fully developed!

My dr says they can be off by 1lb either way, with my son it said he was bigger than he was.. but he was perfectly healthy 💕
