9 lb baby?

[simplyanonymous]

Had my weekly ultrasound and my son is measuring 9 lbs at 38 weeks...his head is still high up and at my 37 week my cervix was too. I am wondering if any ladies have experienced similar measurements and how it all turned out (did you get induced? How much did the baby weigh? C section or vaginal birth?)

Jesus I just don't know what to expect here. I know baby being in the womb as long as possible is best in most situations. I wish my appt was today so I knew what they had in mind already gaww!

My friend who just had her baby was expecting a little 8 lb baby and he came out and was 11 lbs.. god bless anyone who does it vaginally

At 40+1 they said baby weighed 8 pounds 13 ounces, but baby was born at 8 pounds 5 ounces at 41+2. I got induced for being overdue and ended up with a section because baby had a bowel movement, his heart rate kept dropping, and he had the cord around his neck 3 times. It was intense.

Ok that's what I was thinking about the accuracy too. But they will probably say because I have gestational diabetes that I should be induced...:/

I had a gf who was told her baby was going to be over 10 pounds abd he camw out just shy of 8 pounds. Its only an eatimate and most the time they are wrong.

I hope I don't have to get a c section! :/

At my 30 sumthing week ultrasound i was told my bby was 6lb 10onz nd that he would be approx. 8lb but acctualy he was a 10lb 1onz bby ... i was induced nd totally closed i did got to open nd pushed for 45 min after 2 days n a have been im labor .. in the procces of pushing the baby was to big nd couldnt come out so i hade a c-section.

My blood sugar has been monitored since 32 weeks. I've maybe had 3 or 4 "high" sugars (above 129)...but my fasting sugars are always great. Goal is fasting sugar <100 and 2 hours after meals <129

I have been getting a weekly ultrasound since 37 weeks because I have gestational diabetes.

Wow you get a weekly ultrasound?

At 35.2 baby measured 6 lbs 15 oz I haven't delivered yet but dr scheduled c section due to complications plus him being "big". I'll let you know results when he's here.

Yes its confusing... Lol... My first born was 10 lbs... and my second one was 7lbs... And for both doc said 8 lbs... For this 3rd pregnancy I still dont kno... Im just 29.weeks

[simplyanonymous]

At 37 weeks baby was weighing 7lbs 2oz I delivered at 40+4 and she was only 6lbs 8oz. I got induced because I was completely closed and still a 0. My inducement didn't go well I was dilating verrry slowly so I chose to have a csection!

With my daugher they said she was weighing around 8lbs at 37 weeks. I delivered her on my due date (so 40 weeks exactly) & she only weighed 6lb 10oz so I don't think they're always very accurate about weight estimates
