To all the ladies who have already had their LO,....when/if you had an U/S right before they were born, how close was yours to their actual birth weight?

I had an ultrasound the day before my induction. According to the ultrasound he was 8lb 5oz. Well that was way off because the next day when he came into the world he was 9lb 10oz!!!!
Personally, I think that the accuracy depends on the US tech. Some take more precise measurements than others. I never had an estimate for DS1, but this one they told me today is 7lbs 12oz. I'll find out on Saturday.

At 36 weeks they said she was about 5 lb 14 oz and she was born a day before her EDD at 7 lb 9 oz. so pretty spot on if you use the half a pound a week they say babies gain
For both kids, they were way of and I had the US within days of delivering. First time measured 8.5lbs and came in at 6.5 and second time measured 9lbs and came in at 7 5oz. Both times my dr told me she was confident the growth ultrasound was overstated and I felt like I was having a 7lb baby. I guess they are plus or minus 15,
Which is huge
Sounds good! I am going in to be induced tomorrow afternoon and had an U/S today to see about how big he will be....measured in at 7lb 14oz.....I have a strong feeling he is going to be about 8lb 8oz.....so just curious to see how others measured in I know a lot of it has to do with the skill of the U/S tech. Just getting super anxious! Good luck to all of the other soon-to-be mama's out there and congrats to those who are already snuggling with their LO
Mine was spot on but that is SUPER rare. I had an MFM who had a proprietary way of measuring on an ultrasound so he is known for being accurate. Other than my growth ultrasound, most people I know, their's is off by at least 1 to 2 lbs. and usually the dr tells them the baby will be bigger than the actually are.
They overestimated weight, but not by a ton. At 36 weeks I was told they were 6lb and 6lb10oz; and they could gain up to 1/2 pound a week. 2 weeks later they were 6lb3oz and 7lb1oz.

My lo was estimated at 9 lbs 6 oz, came out a day later at 9 lbs 4 oz.
i agree with pp about that it depends on the ultrasound tech and how good they are.
