Estimated weight at 20 week scan

Had my 20 week scan yesterday and was told baby is just under 2lb
I know they are estimated weights and can be wrong.
But this seems a little crazy, has anyone else had high estimated weights like this at 20 weeks?

I would definitely take this with a pinch of salt…babies don’t typically weigh over 1lb at 20 weeks, let alone two x

Scans are notoriously known for not being 100% accurate to measure a babys size. Agree with abi above take it with a pinch of salt x

My baby was measuring at 15oz at 20+2 so just shy of a lb but my sonographer clearly said that this is based on averages and not actually on my height or weight x

Finding out gender

Has anyone found out the gender at a private scan at 14 weeks? And has this been accurate?

I found out at 17 with my first but I know a scan place that offers from 14/15 weeks and I’m impatient 😂🥲

Induction?

Anyone been induced before? Was it more painful? Better than thought? Worse than thought? Worth it? Thoughts?

Baby names

My daughter‘s name is valentýna and I’m struggling to find other nice girl and boy names beginning with V I’ve got a few and I’ve got loads that aren’t beginning with V, but I feel like I wanna go for all vs and I also love girl and boys names that match so because my daughter’s name is valentýna I would love to call my son Valentino my husband does not agree 😃

Induction or c section?

As a last resort, would you rather be induced or have a planned c section?

Really not liking the thought of being induced from people’s experiences I’ve read!
