Weight and scans!

[oscarsmummyy]

How much did your babies weigh at 25 weeks and how much did they weigh at birth?!
Also what does it mean if my babies AC is measuring a week ahead but everything else is on time? He was drinking and had a full belly when they done the measurements x

It doesn't mean anything at this point, babies growth isn't linear so it might be "ahead" now but at the next growth scan may measure correct for dates. With growth scans it's usually better to have a few (i think you usually get 3, 2-4 weeks apart if they're routine growth scans) in order to see a trend in babies growth. I had a one off growth scan at 34weeks due to measuring small and baby was on the 10th centile. She was born at 41 weeks on the 75th!

Scans are notoriously inaccurate at measuring weight. What do you mean by AC - is that abdominal circumference? My kids have all had fat bellies and been shortarses on scans but it was never implied that their stomach was a week ahead and legs a week behind it's just part of normal body size variation isn't it?
