35 weeks and estimated to be 6.11 already!!!
posted 8th Dec '08
Today I went to my 35 week check up and they said Alaina finally turned head down (yay), but that she is also a BIG baby! Put it this way, 4 weeks ago she was an estimated 3.12 (figuring around 8.4 at 40 weeks), today however she weighed an estimated 6.11 (figuring around 9.3 at 40 weeks). She has gained an estimated 2.15 pounds in 4 weeks and I am freaking out! LOL My other 2 kids only weighed 8.3 and 6.13 and they were both born at 40+ weeks!

Oh don't worry to much they are wrong a lot of times. They told me my baby was measuring 6 pounds and 3 weeks later I had him and he only weighed 5pounds 12 ounces.

Quoting Lauryn [7 More Weeks!]:“ Are they going to induce you or anything?”

Well my doc always induces me (well he did with my other 2), but that was because I have trouble dialating. With my 2nd he had to strech me to 1 cm and that was real pain, worse than anything else, really!! But idk if he will induce bc she is measuring bog on ultrasound! That was my last u/s, so how would he know if she's getting too big? And that he needed to induce? I guess just bc he's a dr?

Now that I think about it he estimated Logan to weigh around 7.8 and he weighed 6.13, but they are usually only off by about a pound right?
quoteposted 8th Dec '08
Hang in there and try not to worry too much. They told me my son was already 8+ lbs at 38 weeks when they did the ultrasound. So my doc induced me 10 days early and he came out weighing only 5lbs 12oz. Either way...good luck!
