Last week at 31 weeks our measurment scan said our boy was 4.5 lbs.. doc said she wasn't worried though, everything else was good and he could of just had a growth spurt. We go for another scan tomorrow, I have a weekly visit, and hope everything continues to look good.. good luck to you!
Ok I don't feel so bad. I was starting to get the impression that she's going to be big. DD was 6 lbs even at 38 weeks when I delivered her and I'm over here thinking crap I have another 8 weeks to go!
Those ultrasounds are notorious for being off by a pound. Additionally from this point on the baby should be gaining 1/2 lb a week so that would only put her at 8lb. Rest assured mama that's not gigantic!

Sorry for the poor man's siggy...ticker won't load regardless of how many tips I read.
At 30 weeks 4 days my little girl measured 2lbs 13 oz, which the dr said is the 21st percentile and we will just check again at next appointment to make sure she doesn't get Into lower than the 10th percentile. When My 5 year old was born she weighed 5lb 15 oz so I'm not expecting a huge baby this time, although it could happen!

That's exactly what I thought when they told me 4lbs today I'll be 32 weeks tomorrow. Yikes hope he isn't huge.
My Lo is 4.7 lbs at 32 weeks. I go in once a month for growth scans because of my thyroid condition and the specialist said she is right on point in the 68%. She said the optimum percentile is between 50 and 75.
scans are notorious for being off...but i had one at 26 weeks that measured baby at 2lbs 0oz. we were also told she had a "small head and short little legs." DH and i are not large people, nor were we big babies (he was under 6lbs and i was 7lb 1oz) so we would be shocked if she was big!
We had our growth scan at 31 weeks 3 days and baby boy is weighing 4 pounds 11 ounces! His daddy was 3 weeks early and almost 10 pounds. I guess he's already following in his daddy's footsteps!
Not everyone has one - usually they are only done when there is some concern. If you have GD you will almost definitely have one. I had one at 26 weeks because my fundal measurement was 3 weeks ahead. But if everything looks normal, it is unlikely that you will have one at all.
baby boy weighs almost 5 lbs....at 33.5 weeks. i have gestational diabetes so im hoping he doesnt get tooooooo big considering i got 7 weeks left to go.
Re: How big is baby?
Is this scan something I should ask my doc for...? I feel like a dummy...
