92nd percentile at almost 30 weeks - please help reassure me!!

So I went for a 29.5 week ultrasound and apparently our baby girl is measuring in the 92nd percentile and is already 3lbs 13 oz??
They said everything looks great and she is healthy and scored 8/8 on their overall wellness rating (whatever that is).

But it’s hard not to worry…!

I’m small (5’4) and only have gained like 14 lbs. my husband is 6’3 and was a big baby and so was I.

Anyone else???

I’m going tomorrow for a growth scan. Only 28 weeks but I think he’s going to be big too! I’ll keep you posted on how it goes and what they say.

I went last week at around 29 weeks and she was around 3lbs. But i was stunned too because before moving to another country - which was like 2.5 weeks before that appointment - she was 2 pounds something. I was confused how she gained that much weight in not even a month🤣 tomorrow I am going to another doc and am curious if they gonna do an US and how much she is going to measure. Im happy she is gaining! But somehow she is still on the smaller side. As long as they are healthy ;)

I'm terrified! I went last week which was 28 weeks, and she was already 3lbs too. I'm a high risk pregnancy and I'm so scared. I really don't want a c-section, but all we can do is wait right?

Sooooo my baby is >97%…. 😳
28 weeks, 2 days and measuring on average 31 weeks, 1 day. So 3 weeks ahead… he’s estimated to be about 3lbs 14oz… I’m stunned and speechless. I thought he’d be big… but I wasn’t expecting this big.

My husband was nearly 10 pounds. I was premie and only weighed 4 pounds.

I’m also 5’4” and I lost some weight in the beginning. So I’m only like +5lbs my pre-pregnancy weight (but if you look at my low in first trimester to now I’ve gained about 15 lbs too).

that’s like the same as my baby! We went at 29w,3 days and they said 3lbs 13oz
