Pregnant after a Loss

So he's just a big boy....

I had my growth u/s yesterday and it turns out he is just measuring 1 week 5 days ahead. He's in the 80th percentile and weighs 3 lbs 14 oz...at least that's an estimate. I was totally scared for nothing that I had some kind of mutant child with a huge head or something but he is perfect. Hopefully he doesn't continue to grow like this or I could have a 10 pounder!!!

Re: So he's just a big boy....

  • I was freaking out about Austin's size bc DH was over 10 and I was 9.13, so I had an US last week. He was measuring around 7 lbs! Thank goodness. I also asked about his head. I love DH, but him and all of the men in his family (including cousins and uncles) have large heads! She said it was normal- so a big sigh for me!

  • Sounds right on track to me!  I never put too much stock in those u/s measurements anyway...they are just averages. 

    Sounds like a perfect baby boy!
  • At least he's healthy right although I'll hope with you that he's not a 10 pounder.  ouch!
  • Yeah! I am glad everything checked out fine! At my 28 week growth u/s, Emma weighed 3 lb 11 oz and was in the 97th percentile, so I feel your fear of a big baby! But I am tall so I knew she would be too.
  • glad he's okay!  at my 24 week appointment, i was measuring 26 weeks.  i after a filling turkey day dinner and leftovers all weekend i'll probably be measuring 35 weeks by my appointment on tuesday.  oops.
