Anyone else expecting a huge baby?!

Question

So my baby was breech now he’s not! Thank god.🥳 but now I’m expected to have an 11 pound baby if i get all the way to 40 weeks. Anyone else in the same boat?!😂
Side note: He’s been measuring big but he’s in the 92 percentile now. With my last there estimated weight pretty was spot on, they guessed 7 pounds and she came out at 6 pound 15ounces. So this time I’m nervous!

Answer

How do you know how much your baby is weighing at? My doctors don’t tell me how much my son weighs or anything . I just know my belly is measuring the exact weeks I should be

Answer

Just had 36 week ultrasound friday which i became 37 weeks that day bby was 6p 14 o due date jan 24

Answer

Same boat. Baby girl is measuring slightly ahead. Fundal height had been measuring 3 weeks ahead, so they did a growth scan 36 weeks and said baby is measuring more like 38 weeks. They estimated weight to be 7lb 11oz at 36 weeks. 
My older daughter was 8lb 11oz at birth, so it makes sense this babe would be on larger end of spectrum too. 
Doc said they wont induce though because I have had a prior csection. So the options are wait to go into labor or if we get to 40 weeks +, schedule a csection.

Answer

My baby is measuring big. Last week at 36 weeks they guessed 7 to 7 and a half lbs already 😬 I have a ultrasound Wednesday to see what that says and the midwife said we will go from there. My first was born at 42 weeks and was 7lbs 6oz lol so this is scary

Answer

My babes have gotten bigger - 8#5, 9#4 and 9#14. It’s part of why I want to induce with this one! But I had them all vaginally and didn’t tear at all with the biggest one!

Answer

My boy measured 8 pounds 10 ounces at 35 weeks 4 days. I'm due 01 23. They also want to do an induction or c section at 39 weeks which is the 16th. I'm freaking out bc I just wanted this to happen naturally. I'm hoping I go into labor on my own before then.

Answer

If you don’t mind me asking are you getting a c section or have they said anything about a c section? I’m 38 weeks right now and my OB has just vaguely brought it up due to my baby being big. At 33weeks he was measured at 6lbs! I’m going to have another growth scan at 39.5 to see just how big he his and what the best options are.

Answer

I didn't get to know weight estimates, but my son was 8lbs 9oz born at 37 weeks. The nurse said if we went to 40 weeks he probably would have been about 10lbs.

Answer

They guessed my son at 9lbs and he ended up being 7lbs 11oz. So there is always hope they are a bit off.

Answer

Just cause they say the baby may be big doesnt mean they will be. At my 36wk appointment we did a growth ultrasound and they told me she was close to 7lb already. I ended up going into labor 4 days later and when I had her she was barely 6lbs.
