At 35 weeks....

I had my 35th week doctors appointment yesterday and had a u/s. Jude is measuring 4.5Ibs, via u/s. I know they can be off, but doesn't that seem kind of small for a 35 weeker? I thought they were usually 5-6Ibs by now.

My doctor didn't seem worried though.

My last LO was born at 35 weeks and 2 days and weighed 6lbs 1oz. But, if your dr isn't worried...you shouldn't be either!

My lo was born at 36 weeks and weighed 4# 4 oz. She was a but time for gestation. Depends on your and her fathers size though

You should ask. You don't want anything to be wrong, so call them and make them worried.

Well, my daughter was born at 39.5 weeks weighing in at 7Ibs even. Maybe he will start throwing the pounds on in the last few weeks.

Neither the tech or the doctor seemed conserned. My doctor actually said "perfect" after the tech said his measurments. So I don't think anything is wrong. I am measuring right on target and my fluid levels look great. I just though it was odd for him to seem so small. Maybe he is just going to be smaller than my daughter was?!

Babies usually gain about a pound a week in the last month or so....your LO should be fine

My LO was 5lb 13oz at 31 weeks and 8lbs 5oz at 35 weeks

Holy crap, and this is your first??!!

Yes he's my first. I'm hoping my EDD is off. He's measured ahead since 18 wks.

That is what I was thinking. Just hard not to worry, ya know! Heck, maybe I will get lucky and have a 6 pounder   My daughter tore me from the inside out and she was only 7Ibs.

I read that thr last 4 weeks is when they develop all the fat stores. GL!

Oh gosh that's a scary thought...my LO might be 12lbs in that case

I went today and im 33 weeks and 5 days and it said that mine was 4 lb 12 oz hope this helps.
