What is your baby weighing?

skschnake · January 2016

Happy Tuesday Ladies...Just wondering what you estimated LO's weight is... Has your U/S tech or Doctor given you any numbers? Just curious

I had an ultrasound yesterday at 34+2, she is estimated to be 5lbs 4oz right now!

DrillSergeantCat · January 2016

My last ultrasound was December 2, I was 28.5 weeks and they estimated him to be 3lbs 9oz at that time. They are concerned about his size because his head and abdomen are measuring in the 98th percentile. I have another ultrasound on the 13th to check his growth again.

We just had an ultrasound this morning at 34 weeks and she is measuring about 5lbs 8oz!

TalulaPants · January 2016

36 weeks and she's weighing 6lbs 8oz.

ohbaby714 · January 2016

At yesterday's ultrasound they estimated her to be 3lbs and 10oz at 33+5.

Shatzegirl · January 2016

No idea! Haven't had an ultrasound since 20 weeks but man, she feels heavy lol!

summererdvig · January 2016

Almost exactly what mine was estimated at 5 weeks ago! They said he was measuring quite a bit ahead!

ape0209 · January 2016

At 32 weeks he was about 4.5 pounds!

blueberrymomma · January 2016

At 34+ weeks they estimated him to be 6lbs already! DD was only 6lb15oz at birth

SarahChristine12 · January 2016

Currently at 34 weeks, but at my u/s at 29 weeks they estimated he was 4lbs.

skschnake · January 2016

Thank yall for the feed back. I went today for my first "check" appt and she was around 4lbs 8 ounces. She was still head up and I havent dialated at all. I am 35+3, to me she is still alittle on the smaller side. I know she has more " baking " to do in the next few weeks.

rachellynne27 · January 2016

At growth scan (35 + 2), our little guy was about 5lbs 12oz. Overall measurements put him in the 45th percentile.

She is measuring about 2 weeks behind so that might have a little to do with it

dtaded13 · January 2016

At my 34 week appointment he was already measuring 6 lbs and 38weeks and I was dilated to 1. I have my 36 week appointment next Monday and am anxious to see him again. Dr said his body is measuring normal but his head is on the big side which could be distorting the measurements

Ktjennks · January 2016

I want a 3rd u/s!

RRC216 · January 2016

29w 5 days he was 4 lbs

cmq21 · January 2016

At 33 weeks + 5 he was weighing 5lb 12oz and they said he is in the 80th percentile. First baby was 8lb 5oz and 23 inches long so I guess I just carry big babies.

lubaTO · January 2016

My us was around 33 weeks (i am now 35+4) and he was 4 lbs 13 oz which they said was within the norm

SoSweetTea1124 · January 2016

Weight measurements via ultrasound are almost never accurate. With DS1 they estimated at 38 weeks that he was 9 lbs 2 oz.... he was born 40+1 weeks at 8 lbs 1.3 oz. I will not be getting another ultrasound this pregnancy barring any issues, so I will find out the weight when DS2 is born.

lubaTO · January 2016

I found this for the average weight 10th and 90th percentile

Thats what I have heard and have read about. I wasnt scheduled for any other scans, but when I went in for my check she said that she wanted to check her weight. It kind of alarmed me when she mentioned it.

Edited to add.. they also may be off on my due date which could be making me seem smaller.

Aussiechicka · January 2016

35+4 and had a u/s today. She's measuring at 5lb 7oz so if we go to my induction date she'll be just under 8lbs.

Katty422 · January 2016

Is getting an ultrasound the only way they can estimate the weight? I will not be getting another u/s unless I have a problem. My doctor only does first &second trimester ultrasound. No 3rd one unless they see an issue. I'm going this Friday for my 36 week Checkup which is an internal exam. I was hoping they could tell me then.

brittanyw7 · January 2016

At 32 weeks estimated weight was 5 lbs 4 oz. 97th percentile

egraves4 · January 2016

I can understand why the weight would be off. They take 3 different measurements and based off those three measurements they can take a guess at a weight... Which could be totally off.

thisusername · January 2016

I just had an U/S yesterday but my doctors won't tell me her weight or how far behind she's fallen. It's making me mad. I can't keep food down anymore and I am so nervous about her not growing. All they say is "we don't need to worry about an early c-section just yet" okay. Unhelpful! Glad to hear so many of your LOs are doing so good!

Latina211508 · January 2016

ultrasound at 26 weeks, 2lbs exactly
Ultrasound at 30 weeks, 3lbs exactly
The tech said he was in the 34% range.
All 3 of my kids were over 8 lbs at birth. I'm hoping he isn't 8lbs or bigger but I have a feeling he will be. Oh I'm 35 weeks 2 days and my dr hasn't thrown out estimates about how much he will weigh.

When I went in today the only thing she was able to tell me from the internal exam is that she said I still have a ways to drop drown, I have dialated at all. Then when all that was over she mentioned the weight check. Thats when they did the US and saw that she was still head up ( normal still ) and she was about 4 lbs 8 oz. We never know they could be wrong.

kalenvan · January 2016

The weight is only an estimate...

At 35 weeks my baby was 5lbs 2oz

Cheryl Renee · January 2016

Had my last ultrasound at 32 weeks, 2 days. He weighed 4 lbs! The tech said he's in the 41st percentile for weight.

camusoh2011 · January 2016

At my Nov. ultrasound they were just under 3lbs per. I have an appointment tomorrow and will find out the guesstimate from my 34 week ultrasound.

winterviolethope · January 2016

Just had my 36 week growth ultrasound and he was measuring 7lbs 9oz already - putting him in the 91st percentile. I have to go back tomorrow for a 3 hour glucose test because of his large size. I passed the 1 hr test just fine a while back but I guess this is just a precaution.
At least that means less weight for me to lose after I give birth lol.

saranicole527 · January 2016

Last week at 32w 3d he was 5lbs 6oz

emilyandcorey · January 2016

We just had u/s today. 34w5d and the dr. is saying baby boy is about 6 1/2 lbs. His head is in the 97th %ile and the rest of his body parts are measuring in the 85th %ile. Big boy like his daddy! I'm hoping the measurements they are giving us are off and that he is smaller.

camusoh2011 · January 2016

At 34 weeks baby girl was weighing 4lbs 6oz and baby boy was 4lbs 7oz. They are now two weeks behind what they should be measuring, so my next growth scan got moved up to next week and depending on how they are growing (or not) they will be here either next week or the week after!
