Growth Ultrasound--weight estimates..tell me yours!

ChicagoBaby

I had my growth ultrasound today and they say Baby is measuring about 6.5 lbs. This was some serious news to me, considering DD #1 was born at 37w2d and was 5 lbs 13 oz. I am always hearing about how off these ultrasounds are, but now I am nervous about having a bigger baby.

 

So--if you had an U/S, how accurate was it?

DD - right on

DS - they said 8lbs.  He was 9.7

I think my last u/s was around 35 weeks.  I don't remember the weight, but the doctor said she was ~25th percentile.  When she was born at 39w3d she was 30th percentile... so pretty accurate.

They told me 7 1/2 lbs...right up until 4 hours before she was born. She actually weighed 5 lbs 8 oz.

DS was estimated by u/s at 8 lb 4 oz four days before he was born. He weighed 10 lb even.

Doc guessed DD (no u/s) at 8.5-9 lbs. She was 8 lb 10 oz.

The day I had my dd they did one because they thought she was getting big-they said she would be between 8-9lbs, I didn't believe it because my ds was in the 7lb range. she was 8lbs 3 oz.
