How did your ultrasound compare?

How accurate was your last ultrasound when they estimated size? My last ultrasound was at 37 weeks and he was 8 Ibs 3 oz and his head was measuring 41 weeks already....

My doctor's office doesn't even quote size at the end. My OB says it can be so off since they're so squished in there that they don't even mess with it.

My current doctor doesn't do that - at all. My previous doctor was always over by about a pound.

Mine was actually spot on last time. Baby was on the small size and they called it within a few oz.

My ultrasound at 36 weeks was 7.5. I just had him at 38+3 and he weighed 9.5. So I don't know how accurate the estimates are.

I'm not sure why they even bother ordering ultrasounds so late for size. It's usually accurate +\- a whole pound

My last one at 37w4d said 7lb11oz. DS was born at 38w1d and weighed in at 7lb4oz.

I had one yesterday at 38 weeks and they estimate baby at 8lb3oz, head and stomach measure at 40 weeks already. It will be interesting to see how close they are!

I had an ultrasound last week (36 weeks) and we didn't get a weight / height suggestion.

gerbies · September 2015

I had one at 37 weeks and they estimated close to 8 lbs. I am being induced in 2 days at 39 weeks and I am nervous!

I had one yesterday and they are estimating him to be 6lbs 2oz at 37 weeks

Had one just Thursday at 36 weeks, she is '6.2'
We'll see in a few weeks how accurate it was...
I have an ultrasound every week now, and just take with a grain of salt when they tell me.

My son was estimated to be 8 lb, 12 oz at 37 weeks, and he was born 40 w and 4 days at 8 lbs 10 oz. I wouldn't take any late measurements too seriously. There's no 100% and last week my OB even said that mother's intuition is usually right.

LO was measuring 6 1/2 lbs at my 36 week appointment.

abkenyon · September 2015

I haven't had an ultrasound since 24 weeks.

Kristyhana · September 2015

My son was born at 33.5 weeks. His last ultrasound 3 days prior was 4.15 and he was born 5.15.

My daughter they estimated over 9 lbs and was born at term at 8.7.

amberrmariee20 · September 2015

I had a 2D scan on the 22nd, and they estimated 9 lbs or a bit bigger, but when I went for my 3D scan on the 25th they said 10 lbs or a bit smaller, within 1 lb difference.

violetgin · September 2015

With my first they said he was 7.5 lbs at 38w3d, he was born 7 lbs even at 38w6d.

caleininger · September 2015

My dr doesn't do ultrasounds after the anatomy scan at 20 weeks, so I'll be interested to see how big baby boy is! I'm 38+3 weeks

smlowe9311 · September 2015

Had a scan Friday because I was measuring small at my 38 week appointment Wednesday and she was estimated to be 8 lbs 4 oz and her head was measuring something like 40 weeks and a few days (I was actually 38w5d at the scan). No baby yet but I'll be interested to see how accurate this was!

We got an ultrasound done at 36 weeks because I was measuring at 30 weeks and had not been putting on anymore weight. When they did give us her est. Fetal weight she was at 4.6 pounds
