is my baby measuring to large???

[SLeeann]

monday i had my 2nd 3d scan at 29 weeks, 4 days and the baby was already measuring 3lbs 14 ounces. to me that seems kinda big from what i have read. a week before at 28 weeks, 4 days she was measuring 2lbs, 15 ounces. thats like a pound in just one week. the ultrasound tech did not seem concerned and i go back the 24th of nov. for a 3rd 3d scan! is that in the normal range? its my first baby so i dont know whats normal for me. shes in the head down position. any input would help me out.  i know the day we concieved so i know the dates are not off.

Don't worry about the weight from the U/S. It is only a very rough guide and is not accurate.  More important I think they look at whether the height of your uterus is about right for your gestational age.

I have a friend who was told her baby would weigh 9+ lbs. So she had a cesarian. The baby only weighed 7 lbs.  Big difference.

when my friend was pregnant the doctor did an ultra sound when she was 37 weeks pregnant to measure her baby, and he said that her baby weighs 6 pounds 9 ounces, and she gave birth 5 days later to a baby girl weighing 9 pounds and 14 ounces. and it is impossible for the baby to gain more than 3 pounds in less than a week.
My point here is that the ultra sound isnt accurate.
