I get the weekly babycenter website updates and last week, for my week 32, they said that between then and 40 weeks, the baby gains 1/3 to 1/2 of their body weight. So, now's the time for that little gal to start plumping up! :-) I think her weight estimate for now sounds about right. If she gains 1/2 lb per week from now 'til full term she'd be 6-7 lbs - at 36 weeks she should be about 5 lbs, I'd imagine.
I'm glad she's hanging in there for you and that you haven't dilated a lot more yet. Keep resting and I hope she stays in there for at least 6-7 weeks for you! :-)
Okay, yea I wasn't sure if that estimate of her weight was good or not. And yes, this is the time baby should start plumping up, about 1/2 pound a week, right?
thats good, that you are not dialating much more...and yes definately another 6-7 weeks would be awesome...No, I think that is a good size for 30 weeks...the baby will start plumping up over the next few weeks...
GA~~Yea, I hope she stays put for at least another 6 weeks, 7 would be great and anything after that is a blessing. :)
Oh wow, your oldest was pretty tiny, glad she did well though! My midwife also said she thinks girls are a bit smaller some of the time, so maybe that's why she is measuring smaller. My first boy was a chunker at 8lbs 4oz and 2 weeks early and second was average size. We will see...I may just have a petite lil girl in there. (easier to push out though!! lol)
Sorry for the typos I'm on my phone. In the first paragraph I meant to say *for steroid shots stupid iPhone correcting words!! Lol
Glad to hear things are as well as can be expected. Hopefully this little girl is going to stay put awhile longer. My oldest was full term but only 4 lbs 15 oz. She spent 4 days in nicu to get up to 5 lbs. She had issues with sucking/swallowing coordination the first 2 days and was tube fed but after that was fine. AFter she was released the only prob she had was GERD. She's 14 and healthy as can be :) As long as baby girl is healthy, doesn't matter how big or small she is :) Keep us posted.
