At my 32 week appt and u/s I was told LO was 4lbs 6oz. That was a week ago today. So Im nervous of the same. I have heard they can easily be off by a pound even 2.
I am so worried about have a huge baby..like over 10lbs. I wish I knew how much the baby weighs. I am having an ultrasound in two weeks and I hope they can give me some type of number. I'm glad to see some higher numbers on this post though so I won't flip out when I hear mine. I have heard the same that the ultrasounds are usually way off.
A girl I know was told her baby would probably weigh over 8 pounds at birth. The baby weighed about 6.5. I wouldn't worry too much about it. Maybe they round up so that you'll somehow feel reassured that your baby is nice and healthy.
Ultrasounds can be off, but in either direction. 3 days before I was induced I had a u/s and they said baby was 8 to 9 lbs. He was 9lbs8oz! I am having a u/s next week and am worried about that they will say because I am worried this LO will hit the 10 lb mark at birth.

I have an u/s next week so hopefully they can give me a guesstimate. I don't trust them that much though - my friend was told her baby was over 8 lbs and he only weighed 6 lbs 1 oz when he was born.
He was estimated at 4 lbs 12 oz at my 32 week ultrasound. The tech said he was in the 65% percentile. I heard they can gain a half pound a week - which puts him around 8.5 lbs at birth. If it's a pound after 36 weeks, holy crap! He could be 9.75 lbs. YIKES!
At my growth scan a week ago, Owen was weighing in at 4 lbs 3 oz and Amelia was weighing in at 4 lbs 6 oz.
With my son we had a final weight check at 36w2d and they estimated him to weigh 5 lbs 13 oz. He was born at 39w1d weighing 6 lbs 11 oz so he didn't even gain a full pound in the three weeks from the u/s estimate. And I always heard that they gained half a pound to a pound per week in the last month, so you aren't guaranteed to have a biiiig baby.

3lbs 6oz at my 30wk u/s. 51%.
My u/s was right on with DD in regards to weight. I was induced 2 days after my u/s and she was only 2oz heavier than they estimated.
