Does anyone else know the weight of their baby yet?

Hey ladies so last night I was in the er I sprained my ankle last wk. I though my ankles were swollen and my right one sore from wearing flats. But my dh is gone for drill all wknd so he wanted to make sure I was okay before he left. So we were there for 5 hrs...Yuck but while there I had to have a u/s to rule out blood clotts in my legs. The tech was late getting to the hosp and as an apology to me and my dh she asked if we wanted to see the baby. We were ciked she weighed him he is officially 3 and 1/2 lbs. She did a bio profile on him and he is breathing so his lungs are fully developed she said you don't see that this early. So it should be interesting when I go for my u/s on the 12th if my dr finally ups my due date. I just wanted to know if any of you know the weight of your baby? We are almost there ladies I'm ciked! I can't wait to hear back!

Well - as of last Tuesday my baby boy was 3 lbs 12 oz. which I believe is fine for how far along I thought I was (30 wks at the time), but they measured his bones, girth, and head and think I may have been 32 weeks at the time.  So I'm just going with being due sometime between June 23 and July 6th! LOL!  But I do plan to ask my Dr. what he thinks when I go back next week.

Yes. I'm high risk and with this baby I have had 20 u/s's. I have to have another u/s on the 12th. My son is 3 1/2 good to know I'm not the only one who makes big boys! What a cute name! How are you feeling?

hi i had my 28week scan last thursday, baby liam is 3lb. in england if your high risk with pregnancy you have a scan every two weeks for the first 12 weeks. then you have 20, 28, 32 an 38 week scans and any in between if needed.

I don't even have gd and my son is a moose! Ha what can I say I have big boys....My oldest daughter was 8 11 and my baby she was 6 12 but she was sick when she was born. They said she had a respitory infection but nothing was in her system no infection. A month in the niccu and she was home. It was a nightmare. But now she is so healthy and beautiful and smart! Too cute she has a betty boop voice. Ha my munchkin. I love my kids can you tell? How are you feeling? Where have you been stranger?

Hugs,

I live in NY. I'll be 30W tomorrow so I must not get another one haha :[ Darn! I've had a ton so far though, mostly because of concerns, but I've been lucky to see him a lot so far!

Socaltricia-  That is great. What are you having? How many wks are you? You must be ciked it's almost over I know I'am! Woo hoo!


Kimberlee- I'm not sure where you live but the dr's around here do them at 29 wks it's a bio u/s to make sure the babies lungs are developed or developing and to see the weight check the amnio fluid etc. I would ask your dr!

My ultrasound tech never tells me his weight, or length! Maybe I should start asking? Is there another routine ultrasound after the 18W one, or is the only other ultrasound you get when you go into labor??

At my last ultrasound, two weeks ago (was 24 weeks, I believe) they said the baby was two pounds. My next ultrasound is in two weeks, so we'll get another estimate then. Isn't it fun to see them on that screen?!
