6lb 9oz @ 36 weeks?

I had a Bio Physical on Friday and the technician estimated my baby being 6 pounds, 9 ounces. I know sometimes these measurements can be completely inaccurate, but I'm worried that I'm going to have a huge baby. Does this seem big to anyone? I feel like I've done something wrong. I stopped exercising at 27 weeks because I just didn't feel up to it anymore.

    It seems good, I was estimated at 6 1/2 at 37 weeks and our baby was born 8lbs 7 oz at 38 weeks. ?On the large size yes but still good, if we would have went to 40 weeks he would have been 9 pounds.

    Up until the day I had DS they told me he was going to be HUGE. At least 9 lbs. when I had him he was 5lbs 14 oz.!! They messed up my due date by at least 6 weeks I had him 8 weeks early. Yeah, they can definately be wrong.

    My OB told me those estimated could be 2 lbs off either way.  They told us Max would be over 9 lbs, but he was 7 lbs 14 ozs, so don't feel like you're doing something wrong!  The weight they give you is just an educated guess, it's not solid at all.

    It could be off in either direction but it sounds like your baby is at a healthy weight!

    My older son measured at 6lbs 15oz at 35w5d (he was born the next day at 6lbs 6oz, so the measurement was pretty accurate). At the time, I was told that was in the 50th percentile and he was measuring right on track for normal.
