So I had a feeling that I would be having a big baby since I was a big baby and my husband and I are both tall people. But reality just hit me, we just had our last US and with 3 1/2 weeks to go the baby is measuring at about 7 1/2 pounds already and according to the doctor is very well developed and ready to make its appearance. However I am not dilated and the baby looks very comfy.

Re: In for a big baby
I'm in for a big baby too. Had my growth scan last night and baby is measuring 6lbs 15oz (so basically 7lbs) with about 3 1/2 weeks to go! They expect him to gain another 1/4 lb each week.
He's going to be a big boy! My u/s tech also said his head is very low and in the position. Getting close now!!
If it makes you feel any better, my husband wasn't a big baby, and he is 6 foot 5 now. They told me my daughter was 8 lbs at your stage of pregnancy, and that she would be well over 9 lbs, maybe 10. She was 8 lbs, 8 oz. those ulstrasounds are often wrong by a pound!!
good luck!!!
Us, too! We had an u/s at 35wks and our little girl was estimated at 6lbs-6oz. They told us she is at the very top of the "normal" range. DH was over 9lbs when he was born, and I was 8lbs, so I'm fully expecting a big chubby-cheeked baby. Best wishes for you and your LO!
