Anyone else's doc not do weight estimates?

ladyalmalthea

I asked at my appointment today if he does estimates on weight, since everyone is asking me. He said he doesn't, because they are innacurate, but he is watching to make sure my baby doesn't get too big (I'm measuring right oon time right now.

no growth scans for me.

Mine doesn't.

misschippers

Mine doesn't either.

Mine hasn't.

abrazz

Mine hasn't either.  He doesn't do the measuring tape thing either.  He just feels my abdomen and then listens to the heartbeat.

He didn't with my last.  This time with having more U/S, the tech tells me their weights (or estimated weights).

Mine doesn't and everyone always asks me.

Me neither.

My OB says that they can be inaccurate and can discourage my laboring if it shows that I have a "big" baby.

Mine doesn't, and I'm glad she doesn't!

They've told me when I had an ultrasound, but not at any other appointments.

Mine doesn't and neither did my last doctor when I was pregnant with DS.

Me. My OB always measures my fundal height, and tells me how many centimeters my uterus is, but she said those measurements really are not very accurate as far as determining how big the baby actually is. She said it can all change depending on if the baby is at the top of the uterus or if she is all stretched out in there.
