re: When is it accurate???

Quoting Thorian's Mommy:" why do you want an 8 pound baby?? pushing out a 6 pounder was painfull enough. i would just hope for a healthy baby"

Little babies scare me .... idk weird thing of mine haha I was 8 pounds 8 ounces   idk what dad was , but idk haha I just want him healthy but tiny babies make me nervous I know I am weird

Quoting THE KATIE PRICE:" <blockquote><b>Quoting Noah_Jeffery:</b>" No?? now im confused haha   I went to ... [snip!] ... first the dr just estimated he would be around 5 pounds prior toy induction. He was 7 pound 10...@36 weeks. My second 9 and 37"

Ya i went to two differnt docs and thast weird every apt I get an ultra sound they tell me his height and weight and right it on his envelope were the ultra sound pics go in   and haha they were really wrong werent they  

Quoting Noah_Jeffery:" Lol i guess its cuz my babies cousins were under 7 pounds and scary and tiny and it freaked me out ... [snip!] ... it freaked me out haha   now im terrfied to have a little baby  ! and ya his dad is sorta short only 5'6 or 7 so makes sense"

lol there going to be tiny either way. even if there 10 pounds there going to be tiny and fragile and limp.

I don't really trust ultrasounds when it comes to weight. They told me I was having a 10 lb baby a week before I gave birth and he was 8lbs exact.

Where was this first scan done? If it was one of those elective gender reveal spots I would disregard their measurements and trust your doc. Unfortunately the ultrasounds will never be able to give you an accurate birthweight, you may be able to ballpark it in your third tri, but they're super unreliable for weight. As for hoping for an 8 pounder, trust me even an 8 pound newborn will look tiny and vulnerable at first. He'll be perfect to you no matter what size, but your pelvic floor might resent you for hoping for a big guy! Lol

My first baby was 7.1 20 1/2 inches, my 2nd was 8 lbs 21 1/2 inches, my 3rd was 9 weeks early and 2.15lbs and the one im currently 36 weeks with is measuring 6 1/2 pds! they come in all shapes and sizes and theres nothing wrong with wanting a big baby! just remember big doesnt equal healthy! they told me that the u/s could be off on weight so i wouldnt worry to much! and if the baby was moving alot they could have had trouble getting the measurement! if your dr was worried they would repeat the ultrasound hun! Best of luck hope you get your 8 pd baby. Ps my 8 pd boy was my easiest and quickest delievery!!

Quoting Thorian's Mommy:" lol there going to be tiny either way. even if there 10 pounds there going to be tiny and fragile and limp."

lol true and i was comparing my ultra sounds looks like he did gain weight at 16 weeks it said tls0.2 and at 18 weeks it said tls 0.5

haha and thanks I was over looking my scans at 16 weeks it says tls 0.2 and at 18 it says 0.5 so appentley some did someething wrong but hes healthy thats all that matters and she was having trouble becuase he was upside down and was being very ver stubborn we could only get one profile grrr

Quoting Noah_Jeffery:" lol true and i was comparing my ultra sounds looks like he did gain weight at 16 weeks it said tls0.2 and at 18 weeks it said tls 0.5"

i dont trust ultrasound weights. i had one just before i had DS and they said he was 5 pounds, less than 24 hours later he was born and weighed 6.8 ounces

lol

Quoting THE KATIE PRICE:" <blockquote><b>Quoting Not tellin:</b>" <blockquote><b>Quoting Noah_Jeffery:</b>" ... [snip!] ... are shorter it's the cause. And no I didn't care about weights. Not once. I wanted healthy babies. Mine were massive though!"

My DD was 8ld 10, this baby will be under 6lb I have L>A and i have to be induced at 39 weeks maximum (If im lucky enough to make it that far)
So i wish this baby would be an 8lber i dont think OP meant anything bad by it.

With the scans i wouldnt worry too much go with your regular Dr as they have seen baby from the start etc
