How big are your babies?

[steph9803]

I'm 31w1d today and my baby measured 4lb9oz. Have any of you had an u/s recently to show the size?

I go June 9th for an U/S!! Cant wait!!

~~My doc said that they don't usually do another ultrasound until after 32 weeks bc before that you cant see if the baby is moving along developmentally as he/she should (IDK - thats what I was told)

I can't wait either...I get an ultrasound on thursday with my MFM doctor to measure growth. Hopefully he's still packing on the pounds and moving right along or I may be induced at 36 weeks. I take a beta-blocker that can cause IUGR and so far it hasn't been a problem, but they said the real test will come after 30wks and this is my first ultrasound since like 26wks so I'm really anxious. I want him to stay in as long as he wants to stay in, so I'm hoping he's growing fine and there's no IUGR. so everyone wish me luck that they find a nice big baby on thursday, lol.

I am sending you good positive thoughts for a great us and growth for your little one:) Can't wait to hear how it goes!

how do you get the doctor to do an u/s to tell the weight? my doctor has not done that, well I never had it with my other two as well!!! I wonder if I ask if they will do it

Thanks for the well wishes ladies...the results are in!!! No growth delay :) he's actually running a bit big. 33wks (and some change) and he's "well over" 5 lbs apparently. and he's predicted to be about 18inches currently...no gestational diabetes, but all of my mom's brothers were 10-11lbs babies so I knew he would probably be a big 'un. They're predicting him to easily top 8lbs, and told me to expect closer to 9. I tore bad enough with 7lbs 6oz for my daughter, so this one will be a bit of a nail-biter, lol.

Anyway i'm gonna post my 3/4D pic of him sometime tomorrow, but the good news is that the beta-blocker did NOT cause a growth delay so I have no reason not to be able to "pop" on my own :).
