How accurate was your weight ultrasound?

Question

Just curious to see how accurate the weight guesses on ultrasounds are. Thanks!

Answer

They said my son was going to be 10lbs....came out at 6lbs 12 oz 🙄🙄🙄

Answer

Late term ultrasounds are wrong 50% of the time and are statistically linked to a higher cesarean rate. You can learn more about the research behind these facts at ebbirth.com.

Answer

With my first they told me she would be 8 1/2 to 9lbs and were really freaking out about it. Induced me two days before my DD and she was a tiny 6.12. 😐 My son was born at home and the midwife estimated 8 1/2 lbs just feeling my belly. He was born 8.10. : ) Par for the course for my family, we all have at least 8lb babies and go into labor around 41 weeks.

Answer

The day I got induced at 41 weeks and 3 days I had to have an ultrasound and he was said to be 9lbs 8oz he came out 7lbs 8oz

Answer

I never even got a scan to estimate

Answer

I'm 29 weeks and ultrasound today measured baby at 3 lb 1 oz. He is on track to be an 8-9 lb baby at birth. Guess we will see!

Answer

They told me my son would be "a ten pounder", he was not even 9lbs.
There was a lot of fear mongering with the provider I saw during that pregnancy., saying I was measuring 4 weeks ahead and stuff. 
They didn't even guess with my daughter, but said she was measuring right on. Her and my son were 2oz difference in weight.

Answer

My son was suppose to be 7 lbs 7 oz but was only 6 lbs 6 oz. Theyre WAY off half the time.

Answer

I haven't gotten an ultrasound, so I have no idea what to expect. At 24 weeks, she was in the 30th percentile

Answer

With my son they estimated at time birth he would be between 7 1/2 lbs and 8lbs. The ultrasound was done at 37 wks and he was born at 39 wks 2 days weighing 7lbs 14 oz.
