My growth scan put my LO at 7 1/2 lb at 36 weeks. They predicted a 9 1/2 lb baby

Rebecca was born at 39 weeks - she was 8lb and I had LOTS of fluid!

Was estimated at 6lb1oz at 33+6 growth scan. Told to expect about 8lb at term. Was born 40+3 weighing 8lb12oz.

I had GD with DS2 and had growth scans every 2 weeks..at every one i was told he was average size, my last scan a week before being induced at 40+1 put him at 7-7 1/2 lbs..he was born at a large 10lb 30z so was quite far out for me!

I had GD and Brady was always measuring ok. I had a scan the day before I was induced and they said about 7.5 lbs and he was born at 39 weeks and 8 lb 6 so not too far out. My friend was supposed to be having a massive baby though, was told he was off the scale for length, but he was 7lb 10 so hers was quite far out.

My fundal height was measuring so small that they analyzed his growth when they checked him at 34 weeks to see if he was still breech. They were worried he might be small, but he was born 2 weeks later at 6lbs 11oz - so not small! The estimate is he would have been 9-10lbs at birth!!!

Ours were spot on, they told me to expect about a 6-lb baby and that's what we got, 6 lbs. 1 oz.

my 32wk scan est 6lb and he was 8.15lb at 40+13 so i dont think they were that out x

At my 36w scan he measured 7lb 3 so I was told to expect a 9-10lb baby.

Ben weighed 7lb 13 when he was born so they were way off for me!!!

I was having growth scans due to my diabetes, as they didnt want the baby getting too big. They said i was measuring about 2 weeks ahead.
When my LO was born she only weighed 5lb 13oz, so they were way off! id prepared for a big baby and had to get MIL to bring some tiny baby clothes into hospital lol.
