Giant baby?!

Question

So they did a growth ultrasound when I was 34weeks 4 days and the baby is measuring 6lbs 3oz already. Anyone have the same experience?! I'm kind of freaking out...

Answer

My daughter was born 9.3 pounds. I didn't have a scratch and felt good right after. I did use a birth trainer (Epi-no) and I'm convinced this was the reason. All the doctors and midwifes were shocked and surprised that I was okay down there. Maybe I was lucky or maybe it was the Epi-no, but I am definitely going to use it this second pregnancy! Good luck 😘 And congratulations!

Answer

They told me my son wouldn't make it to 6 pound but all through until 32 weeks he was 3-4 weeks ahead in growth and well bit fat jokes on them 4 kg baby later out he came. He's now one and 13 kg and in two year olds clothing he is just gigantic. I don't go by them because they're not accurate at all.

Answer

My son was estimated to be almost 8lbs at 35 weeks. He came on his own at 39 weeks weighing 10lbs 2oz. I had a fairly easy labor even with him being big and with pushing he got a bit stuck so I did need an episiotomy, but it healed great and fast.

Answer

Ultrasound measurements are also notoriously wrong.

Answer

I was born with a bit above 9lbs I can't remember exactly, on term, natural birth, no problem. I am naturally skinny now, actually, and, as a matter of fact I was thin for as long as I can remember

Answer

yes! I did. and I was midwife led at the birthing centre. he came out 9lbs 4 oz natural birth but got stuck on his shoulders. they said my next baby will have to have it's size monitored. don't worry it's fine x
