[moomoo192]

everything looks ok ,they said all measured about right and....

baby was on the podgy side???

Of course dh was laughing saying 'oooh thats gonna hurt!!!'

How can they tell that baby is gonna be a fatty?? (their words not mine)
wouldn't that mean it was measurig big?

I feel a lot smaller this time than with my last 3 pregnancies and i haven't eaten a lot either so why a fatty baby??

I dont know if i'll be havng another scan or not, all depends if the consultant wants one, if so he'll be in touch.

Am sure it will be fine. Have heard of people before saying they will have big ones and they turn out normal.

 

[Fingers crossed]

Glad everything went well , maybe she's just had a growth spurt and her 'chubbiness' will even itself out over the next few weeks

Glad everthing was fine. Dont worry bout the podgy comment, silly people were likely just trying to reassure you

great news podgy is only a good thing!!

 

[tots hope]

My SIL was told her baby would be small (probably about 5lbs) Can you imagine her shock when a week later he was born and weighed 7lbs 13.5oz! Shows they can get it wrong!

Awww hun sounds like they were trying to reassure you, they dont think first tho do they??

They always get the weight wrong, i was told my baby would be 5-6lb max and she came out at a hefty 8lb 12 a week early!!

I wouldnt worry at all...

 

[moomoo192]

Thnaks girls, i just don't fancy the thought of delivering a 10lb er

My growth scan was accurate, my daughter was the exact weight they said.
