How do y'all know how much your baby weighs?

Question

I'm 32 weeks. Just had an appointment yesterday. I go every 2 weeks it started at 30 weeks. My last ultrasound was at 20 weeks and he weighed a pound And 8 ounces. Now when I go to the doctor it's normal check your weight and blood pressure they measure my belly and we hear the heartbeat. Just curious how people know their baby's weight. I won't be getting anymore ultrasounds that I know of.

Answer

It's based on measurements from an ultrasound- but not everyone gets ultrasounds every visit so you may not get an estimate of weight.  As long as the doctors are thinking you and your baby are healthy don't worry!

Answer

I get growth scans every 4 weeks and at 32w exactly, my baby was measuring at 4lbs.

Answer

My midwife maps my belly, and gives me baby's position and weight every time. She's been within 4 ounces on every baby.

Answer

I knew because I had a sonogram at 32 weeks.  I get another at 36 weeks. I'm getting additional ones due to medical reasons, GD, son had shoulder displasia, and my husband was 13lbs baby.  And I'm determined to have a vaginal delivery. I do not want a csection, so dr is working with me,

Answer

I had an ultrasound at 30 weeks as well so they estimated his weight and size based off that. I'm not sure if I get anymore but I'm hoping one more before he comes!

Answer

I'm 31+5 today and had my ultrasound, they told me he was 4lbs
