Huge baby!

Hi all ftm due oct 16th. Ill b 30 weeks friday and my babygirl is already almost 4 pounds! 3d ultrasound tech said baby might be close to 8lbs! I was beyond shocked because i am so small! Anyone else have a big baby already? How much did your babies weigh at 29 weeks??

My sister in law was told her daughter was going to be about 7 lbs at 40 weeks. That night her water broke, her daughter was a little over 10 lbs. It's crazy how far off they can be, don't stress about it. You will be fine!

Ultrasounds are wrong about the weight all the time.  My sister was told a few days before she was induced that her baby would be 8lbs.  Ended up being 11lbs!  O.o  Good thing she's got "birthing hips!" Lol!

With my first they said he was going to be over 9 lbs and induced me at 39 weeks. He was 7 lbs even lol. With this one she is measuring two weeks bigger as well and already is over 3 lbs, and I'm 29 weeks due the 16th. So don't take to heart the weight right now. It's not 100% accurate in an ultrasound. It's like they say, with babies you never know until they are here.

Three weeks ago, at 26 weeks, my son was almost 3 pounds and his head/femur was measuring 29 weeks. My doctor has been scanning him monthly to monitor growth and expects me to deliver 2-3 weeks early. I tell people I'm giving birth to a toddler...
