Yesterday at my OB appointment they suggested a growth scan due to my BMI pre-pregnancy. Haven't put that much weight on during the pregnancy but I figured hey I don't mind seeing my little man again.
Then this morning I remembered hearing these scans are really just estimates. I'll be interested to see what size they say he is as my bump measurements have all been on target but my actual bump seems small in comparison to others I've seen.
Just wondering if any other ladies out there are getting one soon :-)
Re: Anyone getting a growth scan?
However, growth scans are not routine at my practice.
Married 9/28/13
DS born 11/12/15
EDD 8/13/18
I had a scan 2 weeks ago, and he was estimated measuring at 35 1/2 weeks, about 5 lbs. (2 weeks ahead) now I am here at 36 weeks and they want to do one more because OB wants to deliver early due to high BP.
I've had so many ultrasounds, they kind of hurt...I don't really enjoy them at this point because they never show me his face anymore, they just jab me over and over to take measurements and he gets really angry and kicks harder.
Good luck on your scan OP!

Anyway, she is meeasuring at 5lb 4oz +\- 8oz according to the tech. They didn't comment about whether or not that was normal because they were really only concerned about the positioning.
I had two yesterday at two different practices, my GD spot and my OB. One said she was 5lb 9oz and in the 74th percentile.
I went to the OB a couple hours later and got 5lbs 13oz in the 65th percentile. That doesn't even make sense in comparison to the other measurement.
So don't worry so much. My midwife told me not to and now I see why. They really depend on who's taking the measurements. I have no clue where the percentages are from.
