32 week scan size??

So I had my 32 week growth scan yesterday and it says baby is measuring 4 lbs 13 oz which is the 78% percentile (and yes I understand it’s plus or minus one pound) but holy big baby. Has anyone had their babe measure that big at 32 weeks and not have a monster 8-10 pounder? I’m getting a little nervous for birth now and my biggest fear is a c section. I really want to do this natural (and it’s my first) so I’m a little worried now. Also my belly is measuring exact every time so my dr is not concerned at all about size, but she also doesn’t have to push him out... lol

The scans are not always accurate at all. I was told my first would be 8.5/9lbs, she was 7 on the dot.

I have not had a growth scan yet. My doctor said well do that at 34 weeks. But at my 20 week scan they said she was in the 95th percentile. And my first was born in the 98th percentile but was only 8lbs 5.5oz.

That’s how much my man weight yesterday at 33.1 but i have gd and my second born was 9 pounds 2 ounces when she was born. So I’m sure he’s going to be huge. But the plus is it was easier pushing out my second than my first who was only 7.10. So big doesn’t always mean it’s harder.

Yes had an 8lb1oz little girl two years ago and she measured ahead with all my scans and had a massive head.

my 32 week scan baby was measuring 5lb 5oz, there going scan me again at 36 weeks and we'll make decision on birth then she said. I really hope measurements are wrong as im planning a home birth and being induced early or possible c section wasn't something I'd even considered 😔

With my first my scan was at 31w and my daughter weighed 4 pounds and she was born at 36 weeks at 7 pounds. With this pregnancy my scan was at 29 weeks and my boy weighed 3 pounds 13 oz I go back for my next weigh scan at 35 weeks.

Mine was 5lbs 6oz at 31+6 scan. I'm 5'10"-5'11" though and my husband is about the same height.

At 32 weeks my baby was 4 lbs 2 oz on his growth scan. They predicted he would be around 8 lbs when born. :)
