Growth scan at 31 weeks

Mrs.Paws · February 2013

I went in for a growth scan today and the girls were measuring 4lbs 5 oz and 4 lbs 1 oz. Just browsing around, this seems high but at 26 weeks, the were 2 lbs 14 oz and 2lbs 12 oz. Just curious what weights others got as estimates around this point.

Ours were estimated to be 4lbs 8oz and 4lbs 12 oz at 32 weeks. In my experience that sounds about right. For what it's worth, mine were both 6lbs 6oz when they were born at 36w6d.

I had a growth scan last week at 31.5 weeks. A was 3lb 14 oz while B was 3lb 7oz and I was under the impression those were on the low side.

Those sound like great weights to me. My DD was only 4lbs at birth (37 weeks) so I can't really help by comparing to my twins' weights.

Mine were 3.10 and 3.13 and they are above avg, so you are doing great!!

Mine were both right around 4lbs at 32 weeks...born at 38 weeks weighing 6-1 and 6-11!

Sounds about right to me. At 31w mine were 3.15 and 4.1. Yesterday at 35w they were 5.14 and 5.12.

Sounds like great weights to me! At 30 weeks my girls were not quite 4 pounds, 6 pounds at 34 weeks and 6 lb 9 oz and 7 lb 1 oz at birth 36 w 5 d.

My girls were born at 31 weeks 6 days. Delaney was 4 lbs 1 oz and was considered small for her gestational age. The u/s we had that day estimated her weight exactly, but u/s can be tricky!

My girls were born at 34.5, and baby A who was IUGR weighed 4.8, and Baby B weighed 5lbs even. Sounds like you're doing a great job baking those babies!
