  • My doctor guessed 4-5 pounds (when I was 36 weeks) but he thinks the baby will be small.

    Personally, I feel like it's so hard to estimate the baby's weight anyway and he's probably going to be wrong.

  • i had measurement yesterday and baby is 7 pounds 1 ounces. the average now is about a half pound a week. but doc will likely induce me in just under 2 weeks so we are looking at a 8-8.5 pound baby. i also couldn't believe it

  • Not accurate to measure baby this late in the game. Take it with a grain of salt.

  • I go in tomorrow for a growth u/s, so I should find out then. Hopefully 7 lbs means your LO will be ready to come out soon!
  • DD was guesstimated to be around 6lbs at 36 weeks. I went into labor 2 days later and she was 6lb's 9oz =D
  • just found out LO is 6lbs. and 8 oz.?
  • my doctor doesn't even do growth ultrasounds this late because they're inaccurate. All they can really make right now are educated guesses....meaning that they can be off by quite a bit just keep that in mind.
  • My LO measured 7 pounds, 6 oz yesterday at 34 WEEKS.  My OB says he's in the 99.5 percentile, and I don't even have gestational diabetes.  They're thinking he'll be over 10 pounds at birth.  Thankfully, I had to have a repeat c-section anyway.  
  • My daughter was born at 36wks and weighed 5lbs, 10oz.

  • @ 32w6d this LO weighed 5lbs 5oz.  she gained 2lbs in 3 weeks!!  I think the u/s is pretty close, even this late in pregnancy.  I had a u/s w/ my 1st daughter 4 days before she was born and they said 8lbs 6oz.  she came out 4 days later weighing 8lbs 5.5oz.
