Hi all,
I had my growth scan yesterday at 36 weeks and my baby measured at 7lbs which is bigger than he should be..
I was just wondering what everyone else's results were?
I'm a little nervous that the baby will be huge by the time my due date comes around!

They've estimated the birth weight of this little one to be approx 10lbs 4oz at full-term - makes my eyes water at the mere thought but I'll just have to push hard to get to meet our little person.. Cannot wait!
I know they can be off. My other 4 children weighed close to or 8lbs. But I have been saying all along he feels big, I feel full term! So I don't know if this is right or not! And I certainly hope he doesn't take after my dad's dad and weigh 13 pounds at birth..... Lol....scared!!!

I only got the scan because I have GD, my history with big babies, and my doctor has been predicting she was measuring big for a long time now.
They also measured everything and not just her belly. I wouldn't take that as a good guess either.
Ultimately it's just a guess so don't stress it too much and don't let them try and worry you into getting induced early. Baby will let you know when it is time. People have big babies everyday. You won't remember how much it hurt and it gives ya some pretty good bragging rights.
My fundal height was 38 weeks at the scan.
