jessicadarling - 1154 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) This late in the game they are only estimates only correct up to a pound each way. So your baby may be 5 pounds or 7 pounds right now. At thirtyfive weeks i was told my baby was six pounds 5 ounces. With six weeks left my baby could have gained 3-6 pounds from that from what my doc told me. I went a week overdue on top of things so I was told to expect at least a 9 pounder. My daughter was born one week late and only weighed 8lbs 5oz which is a completely healthy size. People seem to think that if a baby weighs less it will hurt less which is so untrue. Either way it is going to hurt and size of baby isn't going to make a difference. Best to hope for a chubby healthy baby than an underweight one

courtlyn - 1154 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) Yes they always estimate but you wont know till they are born... with my first at 36 weeks she wighed in at 8 lbs. 6 oz, and two days after my due date when she was born she was born at 9lbs 6.oz. this time, at 33 weeks they said around 7 lbs. and when he was born at 39 weeks he was 8lbs. 14 oz. you never know!

muffintops - 1154 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) my midwife the day before i gave birth estimated my daughter to be 7-7.5lbs,this was done through feeling and scans..she weighed 10 lbs 6 oz,born 9 days early and vaginally with no pain relief.i say dont stress to much if your doctor isnt,they arent always right with sizing.

wisfarmgirl - 1154 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) They can't really tell how much your baby weighs. They can just guess. I wouldn't worry about it unless you have gestational diabetes. My son was 8lb 13oz and I delivered him vaginally with no problems. Good luck!!

msmillsap08 - 1154 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) It hasnt happened to me but my Aunt Delivered an 11 lbs baby boy,but she had Gestational Diabetes though. She had to have a C-Section. He looked like he was 3-4 months old when he was born!

STCT - 1154 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) I was told my baby could be around 8lbs. or higher when I delivered and she was only 6lbs. 11oz. My Dr also told me when they measure the baby it's not correct, It's a ruff guess.
