33 weeks and this little nugget is weighing in the 95th percentile. What is everyone measuring in the growth scan??? I’m kind of a bit nervy now knowing my baby’s going to be 10 pounds at 40weeks 😨😬

Question

Answer

Our first was measuring in the 99% and was born at 7 lbs 4oz at 40+4. The estimate was off more than 2 lbs. I’m sure you’ll be fine. Everyone always has a horror story to tell. 
from what I was told babies grow for what mom can handle so genetics doesn’t ALWAYS mean a whole lot. My husband and I were both much bigger babies than our first was. 🤷🏼‍♀️

Answer

Those scans can be off by 20% each way I know a few people who were prepared for big babies like you and had 7-8lb ones. 
My first was 9lb 4 and honestly it was ok, my current pregnancy is measuring over 95th percentile on fundal height measurement I’m in the U.K. so we don’t get a sizing scan until that fundal height has measured consistently big a few time’s so we shall see 🙂
