Were your ultrasound weight estimates accurate?

Question

I had a growth scan Monday at 36 weeks and baby was weighing an estimated 6 lbs 2 oz. I’m scheduled to be induced Monday, so I’m anxious to see if he is really going to be that weight. I’ve seen a lot of people say their ultrasounds estimated larger than what their baby actually weighed at birth. Was yours pretty accurate? We are so excited to meet our little bitty boy in just FIVE days 😱💙

Answer

Not even close on either.  
1 - ultrasound said 7.5-8.5 lbs.  she was born 1 week later at 6.5 lbs
2- said 4-5 lbs.  born 4 days later at 7 lbs even

Answer

With my first it was way off I was told he was smaller around 6 pounds or so and then when I gave birth he was 8 lbs 6 oz. Even the day he was born they took a look at him and said he was about 6.5 pounds. With our second son they were right he was bigger 9 lbs 11oz.

Answer

Its usually a pound bigger or a pound smaller

Answer

My first I had an ultrasound two days before she was born 38w6d and they said she was measuring about 6lbs and two days later she was born at 8lbs10oz lmao

Answer

With my first (I didn't have a ultrasound he just guessed by feeling my belly) and he was right. He said she was going to be 8lbs and she was 8lbs 3oz.
With my second (they did a ultrasound) at the scan they said she was around 6lbs. I had her 2 weeks early at 7lbs 2.6oz

Answer

Mine estimated 9 lbs or more, she ended up being 8lb9oz and was born 3 days before due date

Answer

My weight scan said he was almost 8lbs... he was 6 and 14.3

Answer

Mine was opposite. My midwife guessed 7.5 lbs and my daughter was born 8lbs 13 Oz 🙄😂
