I'm only 105 pounds pre pregnancy and my last baby was almost 10 pounds. My first was 8. My 10 pounder was easier to birth. So I wouldnt worry to much about the size of Ur baby. Not yet anyways. :)

I dont think its that big of a deal, babies come in all sizes. I had my last at 35 weeks and she was 7.1 lbs and had originally measured much less a week prior

They were dead on the nose with the birth weight for.both my first babies. My oldest was 9lbs even at 36 weeks and my second was 8lbs 14oz at 39 weeks 2 days. At my 35 week.check this one was measuring 6.8 already.

I was told a day before my son was born he was about 6 and half to 7 pounds. Doctors assured me he was no bigger than 7. Well less than 24 hours later my son was born weighing 9 pounds 5 ounces and measured 21 and 1/2 inches! Ultrasounds are not very accurate!

Anything possible. My friend girl friend delivered at 33 weeks and the baby was 5 pounds even. But ultrasounds are not always exact. They Induced another friend of mine at 38 weeks becuz when they did ultra sound the baby was supposibly 9 pounds but when she delivered the baby was only 6.7
