Is my baby boy too big already???
Hi everyone. I had a 4d scan the other day (recommend it, absolutely awesome) The scan person said that my boy was weighing approx 4 pounds, the problem is I was just over 28 weeks then. I don't think he should of even been 3 pounds then. Is there a tendency for the later scans to be incorrect?? I don't have gestational diabetes and I am not overweight, just normal. I hope he is not going to be a 10 pounder. ? Any one else had this?

I wouldnt worry about the weight too much - they say a bigger baby is easier to birth. Or you can talk it through with your MW see what she says.

i was told my LO was going to be well over 10lb full term when i was 35 weeks (i think) and when i went to be induced at 13 days over the mw's who felt my belly looked horrified and everytime asked if i'd been told i was having a big one! anyway, induction failed and i had to have a c-section and he was a grand total of...
8lb 5oz!!
the whole family had bets on how big he was going to be and my OH's bet was the smallest which was 9lb something! i almost didn't believe her when she said 8lb 5oz and i think if i could have got off the operating table there and then i would of to check it myself after weeks of panicking cuz i'd gone overdue and that he was getting bigger and bigger in there it was all a waste of time!! even tho 8lb 5oz is still bigger than average it was NOTHING compared to what i was expecting, if she'd told me 11lb something i wouldnt have been shocked lol! x
I've been told this next one is highly likely to go over 10lbs and am having an elective section because there is not other way of getting the lil tinker out.
I cant wait to hold her, and see how big she really is, not sure what I'd do with a small baby now after Ollie!

I do have a friend who was warned her son was gonna be a stone at birth, OMG!! They also told her if she wanted a natural birth they might have to break his shoulders. How awful So not what you want to hear. He was born just under a stone. I'll bet that hurt!!
I have my next mw at 33 weeks, and then a consultant at 35 weeks I think so I guess they will tell me if there is going to be a problem. I am so hoping that the scan was inaccurate though.
