Thread: 7 lbs @ 35 weeks!

Willow, most?places say the major weight gain (the 1/2 lb a week) occurs during the 30-35 wks marks (some say a little later), then slows down until delivery... but again, it is all averages and every babe is different.

I would like to be told how off these ultrasounds can be.? ? I had my follow up u/s with the high risk specialist today to make sure there is no thinning at my scar or any other issues caused by my 2 recent c/s's.? I was told that we have a shorty but a chunky transverse baby in there!? He estimated 7 lbs! and I'm 35 weeks?4 days today.? My first was born at 39 weeks 3 days at 7lbs.3oz, my second was born at 38 weeks 6 days at...

My little girl weighed 4 pounds at 30 weeks and I am 34.5 weeks today, Im wondering how much she weighs now???? Any guesses?? My 1st DD was 8 lbs 11 oz, My 2nd DD was 10 lbs even, both 21 in, 10 and 9 days late.

Wow! haha... mines a 3lber at best.

i was sent for an ultra sound by one of the other doctor's at my ob's practice when i was 31 weeks.? when my dr saw the results she said he was in a high percentile, an estimated 5.5 lbs,?but i shouldn't worry because ultra sounds can be off by a pound or two.? i am now 37 weeks, and he is still measuring big, but my dr says there is nothing to be concerned about.? hang in there, i'm sure your baby will be perfect!!

Willow, it can be off by at least a pound in either direction. It can also be tech dependent....I have had 2 different people scan me on the same day and they differed by over half a pound... I wouldn't worry too much. Also, as other people have said, she could have just had a big growth spurt and you happened to get measured right after that... I am 37 weeks and mine is measuring 7lb 5...so I am not too far behind you...
