Are ultrasounds usually on point, as far as baby's weight?

Question

I'm curious. Please let me know. Also if it wrong, did your baby end up being bigger or smaller than what the ultrasound had said?

Answer

My mom was told my brother was small and only weighed 6lbs he was 9.4😂

Answer

Mine were both significantly lighter than estimated by ultrasound

Answer

They told me my baby was 6lb 5oz at my 37 week check up and when i went into labor at 39 weeks they said she was around 8lb. She was born at 6lb 8oz

Answer

Almost 17 years ago mine was accurate within an 8th of a pound. So, today, probably.

Answer

The further into pregnancy you are the less  accurate that measurement is. My sister in law just had her son and at her last appointment was told he was a 6 pound peanut. 3 days later she gave birth to a 9.6 pounder!!

Answer

They told me at 36 weeks my baby was measuring over 8 lbs. I have a 5 lb 3 oz babygirl at 37 weeks.

Answer

I had to go to a specialist and have my baby measured every 2 weeks in my third trimester because my child was measuring “abnormally large” I had to take the gestational diabetes test 3 times even though I kept passing them (I was even accused of having someone else take the test for me). I was told I have to have a csection for my own safety and for my baby (I refused). 
The week before my due date I was told my baby was weighing in over 11lbs.
When I went into labor I had 12 people in the room besides my nurse and doctor. We had the a nicu team waiting.
My giant son was born vaginally weighing in at a whopping 7lbs 13oz.
