Estimated baby weight

[Emmam1982]

Can someone look at this chart for me...am I right in thinking baby is already almost 3lb? xx

My phone won't let me see it clear enough but o wouldn't worry. When I was 35 weeks they estimated by baby at 5lb5 as they were going to induce due to an infection (they didn't in the end) when I was about 37 weeks they estimated the baby would be bee 9lbs. He was born a day after due date at just 7lbs 11oz. The measurements are famously inaccurate and d they were worried they'd have asked you in for a Gtt to check bood sugar levels,



I think I read that the estimated weight gain from 30 weeks is something like half a pound a week... If that's true, even if it's 3lbs it likely only be 8lbs born which isn't huge. Sounds like your baby is growing nicely though according to one site I saw, baby weight at 28weeks is around 2.5lbs so sounds right

yup looks like just under 3lbs to me

Yep just under 3lb but seems normal to me. My 1st was 2lbs 7oz at 28+4wks, 3lbs 1oz at 29+4wks and 7lb 1oz born at 41+2wks. So I recon baby will be around 8lbs born which is normal xx

I had a scan at 28 wks and baby was estimated at 2lb 6oz - was told that was normal. My baby was born at 39+4 and was only 7lb 12ozs so hardly huge! I'd say you're right on track! X
