Baby weight?

When your ultrasound person told you how much your baby was going to weigh, was they right? or wrong? or not far off?

I was told my baby was approximately 7.6 lbs. Sure enough he came out weighing 7.6 I was pretty surprised at the accuracy but it is normally just an estimate.

The first pregnancy, a week before my daughter was born they told me she was 6 lbs 11 oz and was born 7 lbs 3 oz. With my son they were waaaaayyy off. They told me 3 days before he was born that I wouldn't be able to take him home because he was underweight and I left crying. They said he wasn't even 5 pounds yet. He was 8 lbs 3 oz . Smh

They guess based on the size of the baby on the ultrasound and the weight you've gained. They're almost never right about the weight because just about nobody has the perfect pregnancy and weight gain all their charts tell them it should be like.
