Big boy Already...is this normal?

I'm 21 wks and my baby is already 1lb. The doctor say it's normal, but I wanted everyone's input. Is anyone else this big?

Those that state your baby was a pound or more at 20 weeks, your due date is off. I have scanned a few thousand 20 week babies that were accurately dated and not one was a pound or more. At 20 weeks, 11-13 ounces.

At 20 weeks my son was 1lb and 6oz he was in the 79 percentile. She did say that was kinda big but not to worry because someone else baby is bigger then mine....  Lol and I'm a little lady. She said at the rate he's growing he could be a 9+lb baby.  My biggest was 6.4lb

My girl was 1 pound and something ounces at 20wks...I'm now 25wks or 26wks. So i think it's normal. They said she is in the 55 percentile.  And that's good.

Yes that's fairly normal.. My baby was around 1lb at 21 weeks, at my 33 week check up the DR said she feels like the perfect size for the gestation!

At 20 weeks my baby was 13oz! I thought that was pretty big considering the fetal measurement chart saying he should be around 10.5oz! It's crazy how they go through growth spurts in the womb

At 20 weeks last Friday, my baby boy was 12 ounces. I asked the tech if that's a good weight and she said yes. She's seen between 8 ounces and a pound at 20 weeks so it sounds like it's pretty average in that range. You were also a week ahead of me so maybe mine will be a pound at 21 weeks.
