Baby on track for measurement but weighing more?

Ewelina • 31 | IVF ICSI | Rainbow born June ‘20

Hi! I had my 32 week growth scan yesterday. Baby was measuring right on track for everything, but weighs around 2,3kg (I think that’s just over 5lbs) and anywhere I look online it says they should be at 2kg tops at 32 weeks 😳 Let me just say I have no GD and a perfectly healthy boring pregnancy. My bump (fundal height) was actually measuring 2 weeks behind at my last check up. How can baby weigh more than she “should” if all her measurements are on track? 😅 First time mum here so I’ve no experience with this. The only thing that can explain this is that my little girl has long femurs and will apparently have “legs like a model” lol. And I’ve read that they estimate the weight using the measurements, there’s like a formula that calculates it based on that or something. Could that be why the weight is a little higher than it should? Oh and also, the doc didn’t even mention the weight at the scan at all, she said everything’s looking perfect. It’s just me googling things afterwards like a weirdo 😅 Honestly I’m not concerned or anything, just curious.

Also, look at this cute little face 😭😭😍💕
