knowing the weight of my baby

[beanz354]

I was told at my sonograms that i was big for 35 weeks.  That my second baby may be 6 pounds and 9 oz. But my ob/gyn said that i was not big.  I deliver my first child at 6pounds and 4 oz and had gestational diabetes.  But I'm thinking my second child might just be a little bigger than my first.  I weight 149pounds before being pregnant but lost 5 pounds and now i weight 159.2 pounds at 36 weeks and this pregnancy I'm not diabetic.  I'm thinking I'm just worrying too much. Need advice.

Babies at that stage grow about a pound a week. However estimates for weight based on ultrasound can be off. I was told my baby was going to be like 7 pounds something and she ended up being only 6lbs 8ozs.

hi, im only 24wks today and at 22wks my midwife said my baby was big,and that she thought i was about 24 to 25wks  maybe 26wks. Its very scary for me because my first child was 8lb 3ounces i was hopeing to have a smaller baby this time because i had a traumatic birth with my son(its took me 7 years to decide to have another baby). Dont worry you will be ok i dont think your baby will grow much more in only a few wks so good luck

Why you are worrying so much? It is important to deliver the baby in term and that weight of 6 pounds and 9 oz I think is good. And untill the term you have 5 weeks and the baby will grow up.
