I had my growth scan yesterday and baby looks great!! She is growing just like she should!!! They said she is just over 3lbs which is kinda big for 29 weeks, so Dr wants me to watch what I eat lol which will be hard since I'm always hungry now lol!! So excited that everything is good with her now if we could just get daddy home!!!!! Thanks to everyone for your support on here!

Am sure dr just worried about your health and babies. Something to do with preeclambsia in pregnant women. I read it somewhere,  am not in the medical field though.  Just check it up.

Yeah 8oz is a lot for being so small but considering that ultrasounds can be off by up to a pound depending on how far along you are it really isn't.

Well my first baby was born at full term weighing 9lbs 4ozs and my second baby was born almost 3 weeks early weighing 8lbs 9ozs and with him I couldn't keep anything down and was very sick my whole pregnancy, so I think its something out of my control, bc I want the junk food but I don't eat it all the time!

It is because the baby is 8oz. bigger than the average size 2lbs. 8oz.

I didn't think it was all that big either, but Dr said it was and told me to keep the junk food at a minimum but I want it lol :) I'm just glad nothings wrong like Dr had thought!

Glad everything looks good! 3lbs really isn't that big. My app for this says at 29 weeks baby weighs about 2.5lbs.
