false baby weight?

Question

how many of you mamas have been told you’re having a big baby only to not have one? have any of your ultrasounds predicted a wrong weight range?

Answer

The ultrasound weights can be very off. I was supposed to have a 7 pound baby and she was 9.4.

Answer

I was told maybe 8 pounds since I was over due, just shy of 9 pounds 😐

Answer

My doctor insisted I was going to have a very large baby. She consistently measured in the 90th percentile for everything. They told me I was going to have a 10-11lber lol. I didn’t have gestational diabetes, I was a 7lb baby, hubby was a 7lb baby. I knew deep down she wasn’t going to be big 🙄 
I was still able to try for a vaginal delivery (doc suggested if I’m having trouble after her head came out I could get on all fours and push her shoulders out). After her head came out I literally gave the tiniest push while still on my back and she shot out. Completely average sized baby at 7lbs9oz. She’s definitely tall for her age & has a bigger head (thanks to me lol). This baby boy I’m currently 37 weeks with has always measured in the 60th percentile so I’ll be surprised if he comes out much bigger than his sister. But if he does I can say they got it wrong both times, on both ends of the spectrum lol

Answer

They said my baby would be lucky to hit 7 pounds and she was 8.5

Answer

Me. 3 of my 4 have been quite off. Biggest discrepancy, they told me my 3rd was about 8.5 pounds but she wasn't even 7. My oldest was pretty accurate, only off by a few ounces.

Answer

🙋🏼‍♀️ I had trouble with labor and pushing my first baby and he was only 7lb 2oz. The doctor told me if I had a baby bigger than that, that I would have to have a c/section next time. So with my second baby, they monitored closely and induced me a week early because they said she was big... she ended up being 6lb 11oz and I pushed her out in 5 mins 🤦🏼‍♀️

Answer

They’re generally very inaccurate in late pregnancy

Answer

Yup! My daughter was estimated to be around 7lbs but was only 5lbs 6oz.
