Baby's weight

I understand that some women won't know what their baby's weighed and when ...

But if you do know, what did your baby weigh at 34 weeks pregnant? I'm being monitored for having a pervious small baby but not sure if DC is actually that small considering she has 6 weeks left to grow.
DC currently weighs about 4lbs 8oz (apparently)

I had ds at 35 weeks and he weighed 5-7.

I had my 36 week scan on Monday and mine is measuring 6.5 apparently. So I guess a couple of weeks back it would have been 5lb something. 4.8 sounds respectable seeing as you have 6 weeks to go Smile

I was born at 33 weeks weighing 4lb 13oz.

I had a growth scan where my DD was approximately 6lb 6oz at 34 weeks. She was born just one day early weighing 8lb 9oz so my scan at that stage was pretty accurate.

34 weeks mine was 4lb on growth scan.

I think he was measuring 4lb2oz at 34 weeks then shot up to 5lb10oz at 36 week scan! Not sure I believe it because I didn’t put any weight on 🤷🏻‍♀️

DD was 5lb 6oz at 34 weeks.

At my 32 +5 week growth scan baby was measuring 4lb 1oz and around the 25th centile I think, so 4lb 8oz sounds not far off for 34 weeks?

DaisyLand · 24/04/2018 21:42

Ds was 6.1 week 35. Born week 39 As 6.7. So my measurements weren’t so accurate. Some sonographers refuse to give indications of weight as they can be wrong

My dd was apparently 6 lbs 10 at the 34 week scan. She was born 7weeks later at 7lbs 2 so no way she was 6lbs 10.
How small was your last baby?
I think they say baby puts on half a pound a week from about 34 35 weeks so at full term that could be around 7-8lbs.

Bigspottyape · 24/04/2018 22:37

Born at 34.5 weeks he was 4lb 13oz I think that was the 25th centile where he's stayed

MW here Smile

If you want to know what your baby doesn't, or won't, weigh - read the scan report.

Scans are really helpful at tracking growth, but are awful at estimating weights.
