weight of baby when born

[BubbleOne]

Hey,

Does anyone know if the midwife/GP etc give you a rough idea of how big they think your baby will be when it's born? (in weight). If so does anyone know from experience how accurate this is?

 

They give you a rough idea measuring the fudus height (top to bottom of uterus) but it's not 100% accurate or probably even 50% accurate. it's just a rough guess. It also depends on how much fluid you hold when pregnant. Some people don't have much wheras others have loads!

HTH x

My midwife told me that my baby would be about 7lb 1. at delivery so with only 3 weeks to go ill let you know if shes right!!!! lol

My midwife made the prediction for me at 37 weeks of 7lb 8, I have a few weeks to go before bambino is born so will tell you how accurate she was after that

hi,
when i was pregnant with my second baby my midwife guessed right, she said she would be about 7lb and she was when she was born.
i thinks its just a rough guess tho they cant be 100% correct.
