30.5 weeks, baby is est. 4lb 4oz, too big?

Question

Went for my 4D scan yesterday and of course baby boy was smiling away as he was kicking my side. However, he was weighing an estimated 4lb 4oz and I'm only 30.5 weeks. Doctor didn't seem too concerned, just said I won't be having a 6lb baby. I don't even eat a lot. Is this weight ok? Should I be watching what I eat? Thanks ladies!

Answer

Following! 28 weeks last week, over 3 lbs.

Answer

Just had an ultrasound  on Tuesday at 33 weeks and my baby girl is measuring 4lbs 3 oz right on track for 33 weeks from what I'm told!!

Answer

Following this!! My baby weighted 3lb 14oz yesterday at 31 weeks so I'm worried I'll have a huge baby 😂

Answer

At my 30 week 2 d ultrasound my baby was weighing 4lbs.

Answer

I am 30 weeks 2 days now, at 29 weeks 5 days my belly was measuring 32 weeks so the Dr sent me for a growth ultrasound yesterday, 30 weeks 1 day and baby is measuring 33 weeks and 4lbs 3oz +/- 10oz on ultrasound! He is baby #6 though.. #1 6lbs 15oz, #2 7lbs 5oz, #3 #4 & #5 (triplets born at 34 weeks) 3lbs 15oz, 4lbs 12oz & 5lbs 3oz. I blame my triplets for making more room for baby brother to grow 😂

Answer

they told me at 30+6 he was weighing 4lbs 11 oz. I've heard that ultrasounds can be off by up to a pound over or under. I have big babies, so I wouldnt be surprised if it was accurate. my 2nd son was big and they were estimating him to be 8 lbs at birth. he was born a few days after that (37 weeks) and he was 9 lbs. it's scary but they'll keep an eye on you if they're concerned and make sure everything goes well. good luck!

Answer

Just eat as healthy as you can. Baby needs the nutrients. you're growing a life, you'll have plenty of time to get the weight of later :-)  My 2 babies were both over 8 lbs, I'm petite and gained 15 lbs with the last. it's looking like my current pregnancy could yield the biggest yet. I'm not going overboard with eating,  but if I'm hungry I eat.

Answer

My girl is estimated 3lb 1oz @ 28 weeks xxx

Answer

We were measuring 4lb 2 oz at 29+4. Doc didn't seem too concerned! Said we would reassess at the 36 wk growth scan. I personally won't plan on delivering vaginally if baby girl is estimated crazy big at that one. Sure, I've seen some ultrasounds be off by a couple of pounds and baby come out smaller than expected, but I've also seen an estimated 9lber weigh 12 😳 no thank you 👐🏼

Answer
