Baby measuring big/above average?

Question

At my 33 week scan, my baby measured 37 weeks and 5lb 6oz. Normal?

Answer

You also have to remember there is also a -/+ 2lb variation with estimates. Baby could be smaller. In my experience, my estimates have always been very close, but that does not seem to be the normal case for most people.

Answer

You're probably just having a big baby. It's not exactly normal or abnormal. It is just is a chubby baby. It is definitely heavier than the average, but it is not completely absurd either.

I am 32+4 today and found out my boy is measuring 5lbs 11oz. However, I am 6ft tall, large, and am a diabetic. So there are all the factors for my case.

If you are healthy and have no conditions, I wouldn't stress over it.

Answer

I don't think those measurements are very accurate. My entire pregnancy my son was "measuring ahead" but then when he was born he was only 7p 3o.

Answer

Ultrasounds do not measure baby size/weight very well. If everything else is ok, probably no reason to worry.
