panicking ! Just had growth scan !!

Michelle
Well I have just had my growth scan as I have measured a lot bigger throughout but it had slowed down a little !! Well I'm 32wks and 2 days and my boy already weighs 5lb, she said if he continues at this rate he will be at least 9lb 4! My heaviest baby was 8lb 6 and I struggled to push his head out , I'm panicking this is going to be worse 😱😱 xx

Same here! Last week at 32 weeks and 3 days my girl measured 5 lbs and 4 oz. it's just an estimate so I'm trying to keep that in mind. You never know how big baby will be for sure until it's born. But my dr said when I come back in a month if she's still measuring bigger, we will discuss the possible causes and implications of that then. My two previous babies were no more than 7.5 lbs and they were born late! So either this one is different or the measurements they made might be off. I won't know for sure until she gets here I guess. Hah.

Oh my. If I were you since they think he will be that big. Ask to be induced & go a week early.

I had a growth scan at 32+3 and baby was 5lbs.  Had one today at 36+4 and baby is 6lbs 10oz. They've estimated she'll be 7.5-8.5lbs at 40 weeks.

I had my growth scan done at 32w6d. Baby was estimated to be 4lbs 13oz and she is measuring a week ahead. My OB said she wasnt worried I'll have another big baby. My son was born 9lbs 9oz at 39weeks. 😯
