baby size

I'm 37 weeks and they never told me how big the baby is... So I'm assuming she's just on track? Idk it would be nice to know how much she weighs is there any way to figure that out without and ultrasound or will they still do something to check the weight before I go into labor?

If you measure your bump when you lie down with a tape measure from the very top to the bottom. It should measure 1cm per week you are.

I'm 37 weeks my doctor check by hand by feeling around my stomach to see how big and the position of the baby.

Some places done do it unless there is a concern. I asked about it too (I'm due Thursday) and they don't do it unless needed

Just ask at your next ultrasound. Im very vocal so I had lots of questions. They measure the head, stomach and thighs to give you an estimate. I'll be 38 weeks tomorrow and my little one is abit big weighing 8 lbs 6 oz.
