Higher weight baby?

Question

Anyone having their baby weigh much more than the average?  My not so little guy weighed in at 5 1/2 lbs at 32 weeks 4 Days. They told me that the computer predicts a May 10th due date instead of May 24th.  Anyone else?

Answer

Same here! Due date of May 7th, but baby was around 5lbs at 32wks. He’s been tracking 2-3wks ahead since 20wks. They are scheduling me for a growth scan at 37 weeks (2more weeks) to check in his size to see if induction may be necessary.

Answer

Same. At 31 weeks little girl weighed 4lbs 10oz. - 2 weeks ahead of schedule. They did not change my due date but I will have another growth scan at 36 weeks to assess further and decide if we are going to keep c section date at 39 weeks or sooner. 😩

Answer

Me! At 30 weeks baby girl was measuring 2 weeks ahead. On top of the 1 week ahead they’ve been telling me she’s measuring since 12 weeks. I’m currently 33 weeks and we’ll just have to see what my 36 growth scan will show. I’ll have a much better idea then what to expect. My doctor told me the parents birth weights are often a good indicator of how much the baby will weigh. Hubby was over 10 lbs when he was born and I was 8 so we’ve been expecting a big baby the whole pregnancy.

Answer

At 33 weeks they weighed my daughter in at 6 pounds and 2 oz.  the next week she weighed less than that.  The measurements can be off by a pound or more.  I am hoping they are off because I don’t want to have a giant baby.
My first was measured at 2 pounds heavier than she actually was.
Someone told me they guess the weight based off the height so if your child is taller than average they guess the weight to be higher.  My first is in the 99 percentile for height so maybe that was why she was estimated to weigh more than she actually did?  I dunno...
