big baby? lol

Question

I'm 36w2d and they just gave me a weight estimate of 7.3! I know this isn't 100% accurate and they said he's completely normal and healthy, which is what is important, but then all these apps have an estimate of 5 lbs or so! Anyone have a similar baby weight? Lol

Answer

At my 36 week appointment they also gave me the same estimate. At all of our Sonos baby has been slightly bigger than the apps so I think it's normal. I'm just hoping he gets here sooner than later, I can't imagine going another 2 weeks and he's 10lbs, my poor vagina

Answer

I'm 34 weeks and hey told me my baby is 6lbs 8oz. I freaked out and asked my doctor "what the duce" lol and she said since I'm 5'10 and my husband is 6'2 she doesn't expect me to have a tiny baby. And not to worry because she's very normal and healthy and she's not concerned that she's on the bigger side she actually expected that. Meanwhile I'm over here still pretty freaked out but I keep telling myself it could always be worst especially since my blood pressure has been high throughout this whole pregnancy and that can effect the baby's growth so I'm just happy she's healthy.

Answer

Same here!!! At 36.5 (on 1/16/17) they said she was also 7.3!!!! No worries! These things start getting way off at the end

Answer

All of my babies (including my 4th, due next month) have been about 7 lb 5 oz at the 36 week mark.  My son ended up weighing 10 lb 5 oz and my two girls were 8 lb 3 oz and 9 lb 13 oz (c-section at 39 weeks). I'm not big, either, so everyone was shocked! I'm 5'5", 115 lbs pre-pregnancy.

Answer

At 36+2 mine was 6lb 9oz and 62% percentile for that age.. so yours is a bit big considering they'll gain half a pound a week until due date. Healthy but not enormous!! Good stuff 👍🏼

Answer

Had a check up today at 35 week 4 days ,my baby weighs 6.1 oz  doctor says the baby is at good weight .

Answer

I had to do a late ultrasound because I switched doctors/insurance/hospital at 35 weeks. Got an ultrasound at 36w2d and he is measuring 6lb1ounce. I have gestational so new doc wanted to check on size.

Answer

Same weight here! I'm all belly! She is ready to come out in position!

Answer

I think full term is almost around 7 lbs and tht is a decent weight . Don't worry you are doing good ... all the apps have theirs own standards ...

Answer

At 36 + 3 my son measured 8.2 pounds my first son was born at 39 week's and weighed 8.4 so I'm sure he will be around 9 pounds which is what my OB predicted.  But when I was pregnant with my first they predicted him to weigh about 10/11 pounds and they was very far off. So idk.
