growth scan measurements and actual birth weight

[charlotte2010]

Has anyone been told the weight of their baby from a scan and remember their babys actual birth weight?

I just wanted to see how right or wrong the scans can be at measuring the birth weight.

mine is apparently 7lb 10 (only a tiny bit bigger than my others) so I will see what it actually weighs when it finally shows.

when i was expecting dd i found a calculator thing online you input scan measurements and your weight etc and it estimated weight range if born at certain times. cant find it now though

My bump was measuring 45cm so went for a scan to check the fluid around baby and was told the fluid was normal so to expect a big baby, wasnt given measurements, and she was born 9lb 5oz x x

Great thanks ladies for your replies, So in general the measurements are not really accurate! lol
I would like a 6lb baby just because I love them when they are so tiny!
