Was your baby actually larger or more average?

Question

ONLY IF you were told during your pregnancy that your baby is measuring larger than average but everything is fine. Just trying to see what everyone ended up actually having in regards to the size of their babies. If you didn't get to full term by delivery, what week were you and what did your baby weigh after being told during scans he/she was big.

Answer

37w1d and she came out 8lbs 5oz.. I did have GD but she didn't show she was bigger until around 35weeks.

Answer

I was told my son was going to be between 9 and 10 pounds. He came 5 days early and weighed 7lbs 15 oz. They were pretty spot on with my daughter. They said she would be about 9lbs and she was born 9 days early and weighed 8lbs 13 oz.

Answer

My son was 3 days early and they said he would be 8-9lbs he was 7, barely....my sisters dr told her that both her babies would be 6-7lbs and they were 8-9. I take it with a grain of salt when they say they, it’s been wrong alot

Answer

Both of my kids were born after my due date (one at 40w 1d and the other at 40w 6d). My daughter weighed 8 lbs 5 oz and 20 inches long. My son weighed 8 lbs 2 oz and was 21 inches long.

Answer

I was told my baby boy would be over 8lbs & is needed a c section because my body couldn't handle it but ended up having him 6 days from due date vaginally & he was only 6lbs

Answer

I was measuring ahead but never got told weight. When I went into labor, they did an u/s to check positioning & estimated baby at 7lbs8oz. Baby was born the next day (right on his due date) & was actually 8lbs7oz & very long.

Answer

I was told that my baby was 11lb10oz and she was my first so they had me to a c-section and she ended up being only 8lbs and 8ozs! The entire time she was measuring big based on the size of my stomach, what the dr could feel on the outside and the ultrasound. Granted she was not small, but she was no 11lb baby!

Answer

My friend was told her baby would be over 9lb due to GD.  She delivered on her due date and baby was 7lb 4.

Answer

my step mother weighed about 170 before pregnancy and gained 60 pounds. they told her my brother would be 9lbs. they did a csection on her due date and he was 7lbs 5oz. I weighed 98lbs prepregnancy. i gained 30. The doctor told me he wanted to induce on my due date because my daughter was looking to be 8.5 lbs and there would be "no way for me to deliver her vaginally". I went all the way to 41 weeks and 6 days and had an entirely normal and easy vaginal delivery with a different doctor and she weighed 7lbs 9 oz.

Answer

They expected my first to be over 10lbs. He was 6 days late and 8lbs 4oz.
