Has anyone had a weight/anatomy ultrasound around 28/29 weeks and had results of their baby being in the 86 percentile or more for size & gestational age that ended up having a smaller or average size baby? Doctors guess around another eight or 9-pound baby again for me, but I’m praying they may be wrong since ultrasounds can be +/- 3 weeks off with measurements. Obviously, I want this girl to be healthy, but I’d also like for a smaller baby to come outta me this time. I just want to hear your stories and experiences!

I was 7 months along and they told me with my oldest that she already weighed over 10 lbs and to expect a c section. She came out at 41 weeks 6 lbs and 5 ozs
My sister was told her son was gonna be 9 lbs. He was only 6 pounds. Lol! Can’t always go off what they tell you. Mine was on the money. She guessed 8lbs 7oz. He was 8lbs. 11oz.
I was told my son was 10 plus pounds and he weighed exactly 7 pounds. 9 years later they said my daughter was 8-9 lbs and sge was 6.6
Was told that my son was gonna be a 7 pounder was 8 lbs 8 oz
Was told 7.5 ish , she was 10 lbs.
I got told I would have an average size baby. But my son came out 10.02 for the weight and 22.5 inches tall. I am only 5’4, so I am sure you can imagine how that was.
Yes… Its not accurate…
My youngest was expected to be 10+ due to gestational diabetes she weighed 7’15 at birth.

I was told by a doc at 35 weeks that my daughter was already over 8 and a half pounds. To expect at least a 10 pounder. This doc swore she had never been more than a couple ounces off. At 38 weeks it looked like she was almost 10. She was born at 40 weeks at 8 pounds 4 ounces. Lol it’s such a guess

They told me my first son was a 9 pound he was born a week later at 7.11 pounds. My youngest son they said 8.5 to 9 pounds he was born at 6.5 pounds. I’m 30 weeks with my 3rd they are saying it’s a small baby (within the 2 week mark) this time but I don’t really put to much into the estimations when it comes to weight anymore.

I’m glad I reread that because at first I read it as “smaller than average” and was mildly horrified. Smaller OR average. Lol. Ok.
My friend was told her whole pregnancy her baby was going to be huge (doctor kept telling her likely 9 or 10lbs) and he was only in the 7lbs range, if I remember correctly. I don’t recall having the doctor really comment anything about either of my baby’s sizes while I was pregnant except to tell me they looked good so I can’t really give my own personal experiences

Yes! At 38 weeks I was measuring 41 weeks and based off of the ultrasound my daughter was 8 pounds, 15 ounces. We decided to schedule a c-section based off her estimated size and my small pelvis. When she was born at 39 weeks she only weighed 7 pounds 11 ounces. Ultrasounds can be off a pound or so either way.

My first two (boys) were 8.4# and 9.4#. Doc told me I needed to think about a c-section because third baby would be even bigger. I told him no way I’m having a c-section, none of the women in my family have ever needed one. They did an ultrasound around 32 weeks and said I should be OK she looked to be about 7.5#.

My babies have all been around where they thought they would be. My 1st was 7lb4, 2nd was 9lb and 3rd was 7lb14. They’re expecting this one to be around 8lb4 if born on due date.

My first I was told was going to be at least 9.5lbs. Came out 5lb.2My second was told 6-7 lbs and was born less than 5lbs. Mind you I’m a big girl at 6’1 and around 200 pounds when I was pregnant. I always measured big and they were always balled up making them look bigger than they were. With my oldest she was breech and my water broke when I was in the shower one morning. I went to my 36w apt and her feet were between my legs. Had to have an emergency c section because they thought she was so big when she was born I was pissed thinking I could have pulled her out myself with her being so small lol
I was told my first was 7lbs. She came out 8lbs 15 oz.
They told me my last baby was huge and very long arms. That he was going to be 9 pounds or more. He was 7lb 13oz but born a little before being full term because I was in so much distress. Now he is almost 4 months and on 93% growth he is huuuuge. So I guess the ultrasounds are kinda accurate about sizing maybe not when they are born but they can tell baby will be bigger than average.
I was induced early for what they thought was a 10-11lb baby… he ended up only being 6lb14oz
Opposite for my. Doc said my daughter would be 6-7ibs she was 9.5
Yeah told she was going to be one big baby she weighed six and one half pounds
