  It really depends. I've heard of them being like 2 or 3 lbs either over or underestimated. They happened to be pretty dead on with my LO, but I feel like you never really know for sure until they're born!

  I didnt have a recent one but at 37wks they estimated her to be 6.5 and expected her to be born at 9 to 9.5. She was 7lbs 13oz.

  I had an ultrasound at 35w1d. They were both est. to be 5lb 11oz. I delivered them at 35w6d and they were 5.10 and 5.13. Pretty spot on for me.

  When I was admitted for my induction they estimated her at 8.5 pounds via ultrasound. She was born two days later at 7 pounds 6 oz.

  I didn't have any ultrasounds during my pregnancy, but the day before I went into labor I had an appointment with my midwife and she estimated that the baby was just under 8lbs. My daughter was born the next day at 7lbs 14oz.

  I had an U/S at 32 weeks because they were concerned about her size. They estimated her at about 5 lbs at that point and she was 7 lbs 1.1 oz when she was born at 38 weeks and 5 days. Our U/S was definitely off.

  I'm really anxious to see how this turns out for me too. At 38.5 weeks our growth u/s said 7lbs 14oz so with average growth she should a little over 8lbs 8oz by my due date on Sunday. We'll see when she comes out! I get so relieved when I see those who we
