How big is your baby?

Sage4200

Im just curious how big everyone's babies are for those of you who have regular ultrasounds.  As of yesterday mine is 4 lbs and 9 oz. I feel like that is small compared to some other posters.

As of last Tuesday, they said 3lbs8oz. So he's pretty teensy...only the 8th percentile.

At my last u/s at 31 weeks she was estimated 4lb 10oz, which is big. I am on a GD diet now, so hopefully it will all level out over the next few weeks. I got scolded by my OB because her head was in the 85th percentile and her belly in the 95th, which is not good for a baby that still has 8 more weeks to cook.

As of last ultrasound (about 32 weeks) he was 5lbs 1oz.  I've got a big one coming.

I don't know because my doctor's office does 2 ultrasounds and that is it. So I had one at 12 weeks and 20 weeks. No fun! At the 20 week ultrasound he was a pound so I am assuming he is probably around 4 lbs by now! Just a guess! I wish I knew thought I miss seeing his tiny little self on the ultrasound!

Last week, at 33 weeks, he measured 5 pounds 1 ounce.  He was in the 69th percentile. 

MomtobeNJ

Last week she was estimated at 5 lbs 2 oz.

WRose3339

At 33 weeks he was 4lbs.15oz. and measuring in the 57th percentile.

Baby boy is big. Estimated at 5 lbs. 9 oz. at 33w4d last week. I am GD, but all his measurements except head were completely average for his GA. His head is measuring big, but daddy has a huge gourd so I'm not surprised. He was in the 76th percentile. They won't do another size estimate until 37 weeks.

We were at 3lb 11oz at 30 ish weeks....

Had one today, Sophia measured in at 6lbs 7oz.  Doc didn't give me an percentiles, but told me she is off the charts (esp her head).  (DD#1 was a very big baby, and DH has a huge head so I'm not surprised)

jchasmc09

As of our growth scan last Tuesday (31+2) she was weighing in at 3lbs 9oz.  Just a wee little thing.

Do they want you to have a C section due to the size of her head? I had a cousin who was told her baby was too big to deliver vaginally (specifically because of the size of the babies head) so she had a c section.

I have no idea how big baby boy is.    My OB's office doesn't give weight estimates at appt's and I haven't had an u/s since June 1. 

Bighair12

At my 31 week ultrasound she was measuring 3 lbs 1 ounce. Definitely on the smaller side of things. Curious how big she is now!

LauraJB313

4 lbs 1 oz at 32w5d... she was in the ~30th percentile.  As long as she is healthy (which she appears to be), I'm totally good with being on the smaller side.

Haha I call him our small fry. We're praying and praying that he'll catch up a little bit. They want him up to the 11th percentile before they'll stop worrying. Thankfully he seems healthy and did fine on his biophysical profile, but it's making me one nervous mama.

Had a last-minute growth ultrasound this morning and she is 5 lbs 4 oz......give or take all the variances you can have through ultrasound! 

ShopperKristi

@32w2d ours were 3lb 14oz and 4lb 1oz which our doctor seemed really pleased with (yay!)

3monkeysmama

Yesterday baby was 4lbs 9oz.  I normally wouldn`t have had another scan, but they were somewhat concerned with me not gaining weight.  Baby is measuring ahead, so we are all good!! 

rsp247

At 30+3 LO was 3lb 12oz Dr said she was in the 59th percentile. I have another Growth scan coming up on the 16th can't wait.

 I get all these extra scans cause I'm high risk and LO doesn't like to have her picture taken. She always has her hand over her face.

Demedoll

Our LO was 4.5 at our Monday appointment (35 weeks). The doc said it will likely be around 7-8 lbs when born which is normal to large. I think 7 is average, a little larger might be average now I am not sure.

dmfan897

I have an ultrasound on the 13th and will find out then. But I am measuring 3wks behind and neither of my girls were big at birth so I am assuming this baby is a peanut as well.

VineyardMel

On Tuesday at 32wks she was 90th+ percentile and they estimated 5lbs15oz. Her head was 97th percent and the MFM said that my OB would likely be talking to me about "my delivery options." I already have to have a c/s for other reasons, but if I didn't I'd be terrified!!

BillyMollyEmmy

at 35 weeks, 5.5 pounds.

KateD12

At 32 weeks 2 days the u/s tech said he was 17 inches and 4.3 lbs which she seemed to think was big, but then I got my weekly text update today (5 days later) saying he should be about 17 inches and just over 4 lbs... hmm... doesn't seem that he's that far off the charts to me! The midwife I saw that day was not prepared with any information so I guess I will have to wait to discuss percentiles and head size at my next appointment. 

brideandbreve

At our ultrasound this AM, he was estimated around 4 lbs., 9 oz., and the tech said he was in the 60th percentile..? I know the estimates can be off, though, so who knows.

I just had a growth scan this morning. I am 32 weeks 3 days. Baby girl's head is measuring 37 weeks which isn't surprising because every single person on DH's side has a huge noggin. Her belly is measuring 40 weeks 1 day, approximate weight being 7 lbs 4 oz. She is already bigger than her big sister who was born at 34 weeks weighing 7 lbs. I do have Cystic Fibrosis related Diabetes but my sugars have always been under control. My high risk OB insisted I deliver no later than 37 weeks because I am tiny at 5ft and my belly is already huge so he doesn't know how much more baby growth my body can take. He also did not like the looks of my Pitting Edema (spelling?) So I will be having an amnio the last week in August and as long as her lungs are mature, they will do my c-section probably August 31st (waiting on confirmation from OB for that date.)

I just got back from a growth scan. At 32 weeks and 5 days, baby girl is 4lbs, 11oz. Supposedly, that puts her at the 48th percentile.

Aw! Don't worry! I'm sure he'll catch up!

I too, am worried that my baby is on the extra small side, but I don't have the growth u/s to check until next Friday, so I guess I can't actually advocate not worrying. But I was a small baby and my DH wasn't a terribly big baby either, so maybe we're just going to have a small baby. 

LLS1215

My last ultrasound was at 28 weeks and he was measuring 2lbs 7 oz. I don't know what percentile that is but the MFM seemed to be pleased with it. I go next Thursday at 33w1d to do another ultrasound so I'm excited to see how much he's grown in a month.

JennyVal3

I just went today and he is measuring at 4 lbs 13 ozs.  The 42nd percentile(I think)

olsentobe

I went yesterday and baby girl is measuring 6 lbs 2 oz. They said she is measuring a wk ahead and was a few ounces behind where DS was at this point. But ds was born at 38 wks and she is scheduled at 39wk so she will prob still be at or over 9lbs.

freeatlast2014

At about 32 weeks 4 lb 8 oz and 60 something percentile. I forgot what she said.

stlmomma27

As of 32 weeks, he was 6.2lbs. He was in the 91st percentile. He is a big boy! My OB is expecting him to be 8-10lbs.

Newt69

We had an US 3weeks ago tomorrow and I was just 30wks along, baby was 4#2oz, measuring 2 wks ahead and 93rd%, The dr mentioned a Csection, which I am ok with. I'm hoping he makes his appearance the 1st week of Sept (due date 9/21), As long as baby's lungs are developed he can come to be taken whenever.

DerpityDog

They said she was 4lbs, 2oz at the ultrasound we had at 30 weeks.  She's measuring in the 80th percentile, most measurements are about 2 weeks ahead.

Baby boy is big. Estimated at 5 lbs. 9 oz. at 33w4d last week.

 

I had an ultrasound yesterday at 33w4d and baby girl was 5lbs. 9oz. also! Did they tell you what percentile that was?

MrsL0908

At 31 weeks she was over 4 lbs - 75%. I have another one next week, so we'll see!

AB&TB

At 28wks she was 2lbs 14oz.  A little chunky the u/s tec said, but not too big.
