STM: growth scans?

[Deleted]

Any STMs have growth scans with previous pregnancies? I know they aren't very reliable but would love to hear your 'results' ie. estimated size at X weeks and delivered at X weight.

This is my third pregnancy but first that I've had a late growth ultrasound. I'm 35 w +3 and they estimated the baby's weight at 5 lbs 14 oz. Head size was 75th percentile, tummy 50th, legs 100th. On track for around 8 lbs at due date which is would be just fine with me.

I did. They technically didn't give me a "current" measurement, but told me to expect an 8lb baby at 40w (scan was at 36w). DS was born at 40+1 at 7lb9oz

I was told to expect a 9+ pound baby when I had it with my first child. She was born at 40 weeks and was 7lb8oz.

At the beginning of Sept (one month prior to delivery at 39 wks), DD2 was measuring 5 lb 5 oz - 55% for weight.  She ended up being born at 6 lb 13 oz.

I did and they thought that she was way bigger than she really was. All the way up until labor they were telling me that she would be at least 10 pounds, and then she came out at 8lb.

At 38 weeks, 1 day my son measured in the 90+% and was said to be at least 9 lbs.

He came out 2 days later at 7 lbs, 1 oz. The scan was very wrong, lol.

I had ultrasounds at 32 and 36 weeks. Both times the tech guessed I'd have a 7.5-8lb baby at term based on the growth scan estimates (sorry, I don't remember his 32 and 36w sizes!).

I delivered my son at 38+5 and he was 7 lbs 10 oz. so, I'd say they were pretty accurate.

They estimated a 10+ pound baby and said I should consider a C-section.. He was 8lb 12oz and 22.5 inches - very long and very skinny (I think a least 1/2lb was fluid weight from IVs). They can't take into account length, so "big" babies can be really long and not chubby at all.

This baby is measuring at 88th percentile. I am predicting the same as last time - long and skinny.

DS was estimated to be 8 lbs 6 oz at 38 weeks and was 11 lbs 6 oz when he was born at 41w4d. I probably should've taken them up on the scheduled c-section.

I don't remember exactly when I was given my estimate, but they were pretty darn accurate at guessing 8lbs at 40 weeks. She was a due date baby, 8lb1oz

I had a growth scan with DS2 at 37w5d and they estimated him at 8lbs15oz at that time. He was born a week later at 38w6d and weighed 9lbs4oz so the scan was pretty close for me.
