Anyone have previous baby’s measure big? What size at birth?

Question

My boy was measuring about a week ahead at the anatomy scan today, they said 95th percentile at 11oz, I am 18 weeks 4 days. The tech made it sound like I’m in trouble 😖 I’m wondering if anyone measured similarly with previous children what size was the baby when he/she was born?

Answer

A women whose kids go to the daycare I work at was measuring so big they thought baby was gonna be 10+ pounds. Measuring like 36w at 32w. Baby came out maybe three days before her due date/ scheduled c section at 8lbs 8oz. Those measurements are estimations, don't be too scared

Answer

I wouldn’t put too much stake in what they say. Those measurements can be thrown off by varying amounts of amniotic fluid and other factors. My stepsisters doctor made her induce because he said her baby was going to be 9 pounds and didn’t think she could deliver a baby that size (so stupid and wrong on so many levels, but I digress). Anyway he turned out to be 6 pounds. 😳🤨

Answer

My first son measured two weeks ahead, I had him a little over 37 weeks. He was 7lbs 14oz

Answer

Don’t worry about those. They claimed I was going to have maybe a 6lb baby... yah they were way wrong, he came out 9lbs. This pregnancy I’m being monitored because of the complications I had due to his size. I have come to terms with that though.

Answer

They told me my son would probably be a 10+ pound baby and I had to get an extra ultrasound towards the end of my pregnancy to check his size again. He was born 8lbs 10oz and 22 inches long 😊

Answer

My son always measured in the 95%. At his 20 week ultrasound he was a 16oz (1lb). 
He was born 9lbs 8oz

Answer

Those are mostly estimates.. my first son they predicted to be around 7lbs,  he was born at 38 weeks and was 8lbs 9oz haha.

Answer

My first born didn’t register as big, no gestational diabetes... whopping 9 and a half lbs! Born at 39 weeks. He’s a big boy ❤️

Answer

Yes, all my kids have measured ahead and they were bigger babies. 
1st, girl, born at 40 weeks was 8lb8oz
2nd,girl, born at 38 weeks was 8lb5oz
3rd,girl, born at 39 weeks was 10lb12oz
Pregnant now with my 4th and final, dr said she will give me an ultrasound at 36 weeks and if hes big they will take me early.
