How much bigger can they get?!?!

Kohler2009

I had an appt today at MFM for my monthly growth scan (31 weeks). Baby A is measuring right in track at 4lb1oz (55%)....BUT....his brother is measuring at 5lb8oz (97%!!!!). I would love to know what the predicted birth weight is at 38 weeks. How am I ever going to get these boys out? A is vertex, and today B was also vertex but May have switched to transverse.

Next week starts NSTs and BPPs. I think I am done cervix checks though, woohoo!!

ETA: more info

Don't worry too much about them being too big! I had a growth scan right before 40weeks with my DD due to decreased movement, turns out I was getting a stomach bug. Anyway, they said she measured 8lbs2oz she was born almost a week later weighing 7lbs3oz.

I can only hope so!! My back already feels like it's going to break bc of the 60 or so lbs I already gained.....it's all in my belly!!! Can't wait to see how much I instantly lose after delivery :-)

I posted something similar after my 35 week appointment. At 35 weeks baby A measured 6 lbs and change and baby b measured 5 lbs 9 ounces. They were born at 38 weeks - baby A was 8 lbs 6 ounces!!! and Baby B was 5 lbs 3 ounces - the scans can be way way off. But you might have big babies (everyone was shocked at my 8 lb er). And equally as shocked at how little baby B was. But still I had almost 14lbs of baby in there.

I kept telling myself that, and then I went into labor and had a 7-6 and 6-3 pair (at 35 weeks--they would have been giants if they had kept cooking!)!It was exactly what the ultrasound the week before had said. You really won't know until they are here, but you can do it!!!

Thank goodness we are in the homestretch. Only about 6 more weeks to go at the most. If they each gain another pound, I think that will be doable. I am just terrified of another 9lb baby. DS was 8lb 11.5oz and delivery was horrific!!!!

I'm worried about the same thing!  I had my ultrasound yesterday and right at 32 weeks, they were both estimated at 4 lbs 10 oz each!  It's scary knowing there is already over 9 lbs of baby in there!

I had mine at 34w and they were 5lbs and 5lbs 8oz. My oldest was 6lbs at 37w. If the twins had kept cooking, they might have been bigger than their singleton brother, haha!

I had two babies that were well over 6lbs. Most of the time they were in the 95% for growth on the scans, then in the last few weeks they dropped to the 50ish%.

At 35 weeks at the MFM the girls were estimated to be 7lbs 5 oz and 5 lbs 15oz.  When they were born FIVE weeks later they were 6lbs 13oz and 6lbs 9oz.  The measurements can be off greatly especially the further along you get.
