my baby's weight

[krysmichelle]

ok so some of you may have saw my post about my baby being big...well yesterday I went to visit family and while talking with my uncle's wife she who Is a nurse asked how much the  baby weighs now Idk how people even know the answer to that question...but I told her at my 18wk ultrasound he weighed just at a pound and half....so said that he probably weighs about 7lbs now...my question how can he already be so big I'm not due till june 28th...I have another ultrasound monday and I will know for sure but did anyone else go through this.my whole pregnancy has been confusing cause I didn't know how far along I was and they had to measure by ultrasound and the baby since has been big to me for the amount of weeks I am and I was told at 26wks that I had gained all the normal 30 pregnancy pounds Its always in the back of my mind that I'm further along than my doctor thinks

God created your body to carry a baby..you'll be fine do not over think it.

oh ok I see and I'm not worried about him being big I'm worried my body is not going to be able to carry him much longer

They aren't accurate on the weight of the baby bc they aren't actually weighting them its calculation is off the measurements of the babys size and he/she can come out weighting btw 1 - 2 1/2 lbs smaller or bigger than what the ultrasound shows

We all just should pray for healthy babies without any complications.. Whatever he or she will weigh so be it

I just had an ultrasound on Tuesday and they told me my baby girl was weighing in at 5lbs and I'm only 32 weeks.

[lashawnda27]

No its an estimate its either be less or more when they are born

When I was pregnant with my 1 year old the ultrasound estimated my son was going to be between 9 and 10 pounds when I had him he was only 6 pounds. But with my last baby who is now 2 weeks old said he was going to be about 8 pounds 9 pounds and he was 8 pounds 4 ounces so I guess they are not very accurate.

my thing is I'm in the smaller side and I know every pregnancy is different but I had twins 4 years ago and I am bigger now then I was when they came

[lashawnda27]

So im praying that he stays in for at least 5 more weeks

[lashawnda27]

I'm petite so if he's over 5 pounds than that's considered big to me. My daughter weighed Five at birth and I went to 38 weeks

So your baby was 5 lbs 1 oz....there are 16 oz in a pound.  
I know someone who recently had a baby at 32 weeks and weighed 5 lbs even.

I'm 33 weeks and was told at 32 weeks that my son is 4pounds and 17 ounces.the ultrasound is an estimate but they measure the baby based on your cervix. My sister was told at 37 weeks that my niece was 7 pounds at birth 40 weeks she was 8 pounds because its either a pound more or less
