37+5 no diabetes 8lb 9oz
95th centile. Born at 39+2 - 8lb8
No GD
3rd daughter - 100th percentile, born at 38 weeks, 9lbs 3. (Unmanaged GD) 4th daughter - 95th percentile, born 39 weeks - 8lbs 15 (managed GD) For context, I'm 5'3 and size 6 (UK) my 1st & 2nd daughters were not GD pregnancies and were 6lbs.
I'm 5ft1 and originally they were concerned about babies head as was just over 90th % on scans, then dipped to 88th at 36 weeks so went for natural birth and induction. Head didn't engage so didn't go beyond 5cm dilated, xsection then happened. At birth his head was 66th % and the surgeon said he wasn't a little on by any stretch yet when weighed he was 7lbs10oz...they actually suggested weighing him again as everyone thought he looked 9lbs! 🤣 must have been water weight!
I was measuring at 90th percentile and he came out at 10lb11 so I'm not sure how accurate it is 😂
I can’t remember what percentile my first was but she was 8lbs 5oz and I’m petite 5’1”. I’m 33 weeks with my second and she’s in the 70th percentile and I’m scheduled at 39 weeks for another C-section.
