So ideas? Anyone go through this?

Question

Went for a ultrasound today. 33 weeks tomorrow. My little girl is measuring at 5lbs 4 oz. she's dropped with her head down. 
Been cramping and some BH the last few weeks. What do you think?

Big baby or off on due date?
Doctor won't say much.

Answer

Sonograms can be off slightly. That's probably why they aren't saying much on the subject. As long as dr isn't concerned with the size I would say your baby is perfectly on track.

Answer

It sounds like we're in pretty similar situations! I'm supposed to be 33 weeks and 4 days (as of yesterday at my ultrasound) and she was measuring 6 pounds! 82nd percentile and from what I read on the screen she was measuring 35 weeks and 6 days. 
She was head down, practicing breathing, and we could see her diaphragm working. (I don't know if that means anything, the doctor just pointed it out lol) 
I asked if she matched our due date and my doctor wouldn't give me an answer really. He said "well we don't change your due date. But you could go into labor in 2 to 3 weeks or just have a big baby" 
There's not really a way to know! But we actually weren't trying to get pregnant so we know the only two times that we could have gotten pregnant. One puts us (as of our ultrasound) 33 weeks and 4 days, and one puts us at 35 weeks. So for one we would be measuring over 2 weeks ahead and one would only be measuring 4 or 5 days ahead. My doctor isn't concerned, but I think he is surprised. I'm 4'10 and my husband is 5'8 so we were not expecting a big baby!! 
Im not going to tell myself that I only have a few weeks left because then I'll probably be going crazy at the end. But I definitely think I'm going to finish shopping and get our hospital bag packed soon!

Answer

My baby was the exact same weight at the same # of weeks. They put him in the 55th percentile at that sono.

Answer

My baby was 5.3lbs at exactly 34weeks he's measuring a week ahead. Hoping he comes a week early 😃 he's averaging 1/2 lb a week so going full 40 scares me.

Answer

Doesn't sound big for the amount of weeks?
