Accuracy of scan weight estimations ?

Question

Hi
Does anyone have any experience of how accurate/ inaccurate the weight estimations are from measurements of head/ abdo/ femur etc on a scan???

Answer

My baby measured 8.5 pounds at 37 weeks. I went into labor at 38 weeks and baby was 6.5 pounds.

Answer

My first was estimated 5lbs or less and I was induced withing 2 days. He ended up weighing 6 lbs 4oz

Answer

The scans generally say they weigh more than they really are in my expirence.

Answer

They can be off 1-2 pounds

Answer

My oldest measured around 7#s. He weighed 9.2 when he was born. 😂

Answer

My tech (from the specialist office so they have really high tech equipment) said normally they are 1/2 pound off either way throughout the pregnancy and the last 4 weeks they can be 1 pound off either way.

Answer

It really depends on experience. My ultrasound measurements were spot on for my last two pregnancies.
