Carrying in the belly/baby weight

So i have been told that i am all "belly". You cant tell i am pregnant from d back, legs, arms or face. However i am so concerned. I am 37 weeks and baby already weighs 6 and half pounds. I know sometimes the sonogram may be a lil off. But i just want to hear from those that carried in the belly. When you gave birth was your baby's weight big like d sonogram predicted or was it little?. I am also carrying high as well

Not one of my ultrasound was right about the weight . All 4 of my babies were off on what they said. My sister was told she eas having a 6 lb baby girl and ended up delivering a 10lb baby girl ! Mainly because she was all baby and smaller . You just never know till they come out.

I was told with my first that she was gonna be 10lb+ and ended up 8 days over with an 8lb 7oz baby, this time I have been told baby will be between 6-7lb, I have been all belly both times so I take it with a pinch of salt as the ultrasounds are not accurate

I had an all belly pregnancy both times.  It has nothing to do with babies weight though. That is mainly a combination of your husband and your genes.

Being all belly does mean your back will hurt more than moT women and a nice perk you will probably lose 90% of the belly during labor if you just gain the recommended amount.

Try not to stress your body isn't going to grow a baby it can't give birth too.
