UPDATE! What did your doc estimate baby to weigh and what did they end up weighing?

Question

38+5 and baby is estimated to be 8lbs 6oz. I am scheduled for a c section on Thursday, so he won’t get much bigger. I know there’s a margin of error with these estimates, so I’m just curious what everyone else was told and what baby ended up weighing?! 
My daughter was born at 41 weeks and she was 8 lbs 11oz. I never had an ultrasound after the anatomy scans though! :)
UPDATE: doc estimated baby to weigh 8lbs 6oz on Tuesday. I delivered him via c section this morning and he was 9lbs 2oz! 🥰

Answer

My growth scan at 38 weeks had said 6lbs 5oz and he ended up coming a week later at 6lbs 6oz!

Answer

I had a growth ultrasound at 36 & 3 and baby was estimated at 7lbs 7 oz. I electively induced at 39 weeks and he was 9lbs even. The growth ultrasound was actually accurate for me

Answer

Dr guessed 6-7 from my ultrasound she weighed 7.2. The dr right before I had her guessed right at 7

Answer

With my second they said he’d be 9 pounds if I made it to my due date. He came 3 days before and was 8.10. Little girl this time is following suit, so I’m expecting an 8 1/2-9 pounder

Answer

They said 6lbs 1oz she was born 6lbs 6oz

Answer

My first was 9lbs and they predicted my daughter to be the same but she came out 6lbs 6oz

Answer

My growth scan at 38+2 estimated 6 pound 6... c section booked for 39+3 so will be interesting to see how accurate they were 🤭

Answer
