I had the anatomy US done yesterday. I was 18 weeks, 6 days yesterday and I was told the baby is 10 ounces right now and in the 15th percentile range. Needless to say I am so happy that my baby boy is HEALTHY since he was originally a twin and I lost the other baby around 12 weeks however I'm just wondering if 10 ounces (a little over half a pound) is a lot right now and will my baby be big? And what size are your babies?!
Re: How much does your baby weigh so far?
10 ounces is in the normal range.
Even at 36 weeks it's plus or minus 2 pounds. So that's not even accurate.
The last few weeks of pregnancy are when babies pack on the weight. So it all depends on when you give birth too.
Just to give you an idea - my daughter measured around 7 and a half pounds at 39 weeks. She was born close to 10lbs at an hour past 41 weeks.
Your body won't grow a baby you can't birth. The baby's position has more to do with its size. If it's poorly positioned even the smallest baby will struggle to come out.
No but really, idk. She was 9 oz at my 19 week a/s I think.
My nugget was to be 11 oz.
I am guessing I will have a larger kid because DS was 10lbs at birth and usually one large baby means another will follow. Ouch
I'm going unmedicated at a birth center (if my body and baby cooperate) so I'm hoping this baby is nice and normal sized!
I was told this would be our last ultrasound, except that little one decided not to shift position from being head down facing my back, so I have to go in again within 2-4 weeks to get a few last photos of the heart and profile. It seems like it varies a lot how many ultrasounds are recommended...
