Just had a growth scan at 32 weeks & 4 days and baby boy is measuring over 5lbs alreadyyyyy. He’s actually the same weight my daughter was when she was born. WHAT IN THE WORLD? They briefly mentioned having him at 37 weeks because he can’t go past 10lbs since my previous delivery was via c-section. I feel so unprepared. Still have to get to my baby shower in a few weeks. Helllllp. Have you had something similar happen? What was your experience?

Same with me. Baby boy weighed 4 lb 9oz. Which is 93 percentile. Also boys tend be heavier. I have gestation diabetes. So doctor advised to keep my sugar under control. If the weight keep increasing they plan to induce 37 week. My due date is may 23🫣
But ultrasound calculated can vary 10-15%

I feel this. My kid is over 6 lbs at 32 weeks! I have type 1 diabetes- but extremely well controlled. I’m not a big person, super athletic and my fiance is 6’3 but still I’m extremely uncomfortable! My c section is scheduled and I have never been more excited to get him out directly at 37 weeks!

I feel this. Currently 35 weeks, at 32 weeks my boy was in the 97th percentile! This is my second big baby so I am a little less concerned. My first was 10lbs & I had him vaginally with no complications. You’ve got this mama.

I am waiting for my next week scan to know the weight and all will be decided based on that scan.

They aren’t measuring my baby until 36 weeks 😭

My 32 week ultrasound sound showed my son to be about 6-7lbs in the 99th percentile. But i'm not having as many issues as my first pregnancy. No gestational diabetes, but my husband's family is all over 6ft but my husband does have diabetes himself. Currently at 35weeks about to hit 36weeks. My first son i was induced 2 weeks early due to high blood pressure and anemia and he ended up being 8lb 14.9oz and 20 1/2 in long. I got told I would only have to have a C- section if he seemed like he would be over 11lbs.
