With my other two towards the end my Dr's (2 different ones) could feel my stomach and both correctly told me what they'd be when they were born. I'm sure this comes from years of experience.

He was 4 lbs 13 oz at my u/s last week (32 weeks). I have bigger babies so I fully expect 9-10lbs.

Just had an ultrasound today and I am 34 weeks 4 days. Was told that my girl weighs 6 lbs 14 oz already. I am hoping she comes early and that she is not too big. This is my third child and they have gotten bigger every time.

WOW that's crazy. I was feeling the same way a few days ago.... I'm due Jan 6, and when I went in on Oct 17, my baby only weighed 2 lbs 12 oz. So when I went in on Nov 14, I was expecting her to say he was in the 4's. However, she said he weighed 5 lbs 1 oz. I was like whaaaaat lol I don't overeat, so I didn't understand how that was possible. She said it's normal for the baby to rapidly grow after 30 weeks, but I'm scared too. This is my first baby, &I'm really hoping he don't ruin me "down there" lol

I am due Jan 15th and I am measuring 3 wks early, they have not told me how much he weighs, but guessing since measuring 3 weeks ahead he is big.  Yes makes me nervous too, but hey maybe I will get an end of the yr baby :)

I am having my csection Jan 13th if I make it till then and mine at my appointment yesterday was 4.8lbs and 17.5in long.

Kirsten18 - they can tell you during an ultrasound but really its jus an estimated weight based on their mesurements.

I get an ultrasound every 2 weeks til I have my csection.  So I love getting to too the difference just a couple weeks can make. This will be my third and last child lol.
