How big is your baby?

traci1774 · November 2010

Just had 32 week u/s yesterday (at 32 weeks 3 days) and baby is measuring 4 pounds 7 oz (+/- 5 ozs).

65th persentile.

Just a little on the big side...... making me just a little nervous about delivering a big baby. As long as she's healthy, I know I shouldn't worry - but up until now, I really haven't been thinking about/worrying about/fearing delivery. Now it's at forefront of my thoughts.

How are you ladies doing???/

Last week at my u/s (32w 3days as well) LO was measuring 4lbs 12oz, 66th percentile. He also has very long leg bones, so they expect him to be pretty tall.

Keep in mind that it's not 100% accurate... there have been many ladies told they were having a 9 lb baby, to have a 7 or 8 lb baby.

Yesterday at 34w4d LO was measuring 6lbs 5oz.

Yesterday at 33 weeks, 5lbs 10oz. Didn't get a percentile this time.

Ditto on many people saying not to take stock in what the estimates are for weight at birth.

No worries, it's just an estimate and they are usually wrong!

33w6d ultrasound showed an 8 lb baby (>>>97th percentile).

I haven't had an ultrasound since around 19 weeks where they weighed the baby and measured her.

I've had 3D/4D ultrasounds but the tech wouldn't weigh or measure her because "it wasn't a diagnostic ultrasound". I am jealous that I don't know the answer to this question and everyone else does!! LOL.
