I'm not sure tbh. I had one on Wednesday and the baby's head showed 38 weeks. I think it was a thigh bone that showed 34 weeks and something else at 33 weeks. Saw a consultant afterwards and he said the baby's growth had slowed down. So nerd another scan in a couple of weeks xx
I think they're a bit hit and miss to be honest with regard to estimated weight. I had one a day before I had my daughter by C-section and was told she'd be roughly 4lb 9oz - when she was weighed the following day she was 3lb 11oz.
I had a growth scan at 38 wks due to gd. Estimated him at 7lb 10oz - he was born at 39+4 so 11 days later weighing 7lb 12.5ozs so mine was pretty spot on. But i have heard that scans can be quite out in some cases x
My doctors have told me there is a 10% discrepancy either way but I have also read this can be as much as 20%.
I've had 2 growth scans so far and am having a third in Monday. It's obviously quite a tricky thing and can depend on the skill of the sonographer as well as babies position at the time.
Thanks for the reply ladies ��
Im not going to get my hope up for a chubby baby now then haha my previous 3 have all been under 8lbs and i thought was abit big for this baby to be 4lb 7oz at 32 weeks!
