Do you remember how much your baby was predicted to weigh at your last scan vs their actual weight?
With my first they said 3.3 kg at 38 w and baby was born 3.1 kg two weeks later. I am pregnant again and having growth scans just curious to see how often they get it wrong.

At 35w1d weight was: 2784gr
She was born at 40w5d 4235gr

So with my son I had a growth scan at 34 or 35 weeks I believe, they didn't estimate birth weight but they said at that time he was 7.3lbs. He was born 40+2 weeks at 8.9lbs

Mine was waaaay off. My last scan was coming in at 5 pounds 10oz however she was born 8 pounds 4oz. She was 8 days late mind so she probably did more growing in there 🤣

they estimated him to be 7lbs at the scan and he was 10lbs 😭

I can’t remember my weights but mine were way off. I was sent for growth scans when originally the community midwife measured my fundal measurement as her being in the 3rd centile. I was sent for a scan within the hour to find out she was frank breech (basically folded in half) and was actually measuring 89th centile! All my growth scans were between 87th and 90th centile. She was born at 39+2 at 7lb 11oz which was exactly 50th. She was just a very long baby with long feet and legs x

Estimated 7lbs 7oz the day of birth…born one hour later and was 6lb 13oz. They were pretty unreliable for me

She was supposed to be 7.8lbs she was 8.1

My daughters was pretty spot on. They estimated her 7lb 2oz she came the next day at 7lb 1oz. With my son I cant remember what they estimated him at at my 32 week scan but he came at 34 weeks weighing 7lb 14oz.

For my daughter, my scan at 38 weeks and 3 days she was measuring at 3638g. She was born 40 weeks exactly weighing 3920g.

With my 1st he was estimated small (2nd - 3rd percentile) he did in fact come small at 4lb 11oz
My 2nd was estimated between 7-8lb and he was 5lb 11oz x
