Birth weight at 41 weeks?

[FTMinduction]

Had a growth scan at 38+1, estimated 7lbs4oz. Due to be induced tomorrow at 41+0.

What did your babies weigh at 41 weeks?

7:15 and 8:6 (both just over 41 weeks)

I’ve had two born at 42 weeks, DS 7lb 12, DD 8lb 4.
My 39 week DS was 6lb 12 and 40 week DS 7lb 9
Good luck, all mine were induced!

Baby born at 40+6, he weighed 7lbs 10oz or 3.25kg.

Baby born at 41+3 7lbs 1oz.

I had DD at 42 weeks, she was 8lb 7oz and DS at 41 weeks he was 7lb 8oz

Hope all goes well OP

7lb 13oz at 41+2 was estimated 11lb. Hope all goes well.

Mine was 9lb2 at 41+1! We had a growth scan at 31 weeks and was told she was on track to be average and predicted an 8lb baby, I'm not sure growth scans are ever really very accurate. If you're worried about a big baby though I think they're easier to deliver! There was no stopping DD when she came because she was heavy, 1 push and she was out!

40+6 (basically 41!) and he was 6lbs 15oz.

Was told to expect a 10lber as he was measuring big 🤔

I had a 42 baby weighing 8lb 11oz (he was induced) and a 41 weeker born under his own steam weighing 9lb 1oz. No diabetes just big, chunky and long boys.

It's entirely down to genetics. My family has some extremely tall men in it and do bear in mind that sonographers can't tell the difference between weight and length on a scan. DS1 was predicted to be 11lb and DS2 13lb!!! I told them to f off because I wasn't diabetic and knew my genetics.
I also wanted to let you know that big babies aren't the nightmare birth you get told either. Big babies almost birth themselves with gravity's help 😂 so please don't worry about weight. As long as you're not an uncontrolled diabetic your body will not grow a baby you cannot cope with.

Mine were born at 40 weeks, 8 and a half pounds DCs1 and 2.
DC3 was 8 pounds.
DC1 was predicted to be about 5 pounds at 40 weeks, so I was relieved he was far from that!

Scan at 40+3 estimated 8lb 9oz, born at 41+3- 7lb 1oz!!

Born at 41 weeks and he weighed 9lbs 6oz. Born at home, all straight forward. Wishing you all the best!

DC1 born at exactly 41w was 9lbs 13.
DC2 at 41+3 was 10lbs 1.
DC3 at 39w (ELCS) was 10lbs exactly- good thing I didn't wait for him to show up in his own time!

11lb at 40+2. Growth scans showed 8lb despite previous baby being 10lb6 at 39 weeks. Same sonographer with both children and she was spot on with number 1so that was a surprise

8lbs5 oz

My son was born at 40+6, and was 6lb 7oz. We had a growth scan and knew from that the baby would be nice and little

DD born at 40+10 days was 7lb 11oz which surprised me as DS who was born at 40+3 weighed 9lb 10oz and I was told to expect a similar birth weight for DD. Infact at a growth scan at 36 weeks I was told she was already over 7lbs which clearly was wrong!

40+12 - 7lb10
40+10 - 7lb5
40+13 - 10lb5

40+6 birth weight was 8lb10

At 39 week scan DS was estimated at 7lb 12 oz. He was born weighing 7 lb 10oz at 40+6 weeks

Good luck!

Weight estimates are generally +/- 10% so that would be for your baby at 38 weeks 6 lbs 8oz to almost 8lbs. You can generally assume 1/2 lb per week weight gain. So by that reckoning your baby at 41 weeks should be between approximately 8lbs and 9lbs 8oz. But obviously sometimes the estimates can be way off depending on how accurate the measurements have been.

Little man was born at 41+1 weighing 7lbs 6. Didn't have scans but midwife estimated over 8lbs off bump measuring.

41+1 8lbs 10oz

DS 40+8 8lb12oz

My bump measured small so I had a growth scan at 36 weeks and he was estimated to be 7.5lbs at birth (so no growth problems). I went 12 days over, born at 41+5 and he was 8lb 12oz (3980g). So assuming he’d put on half a pound per week the scan estimate was only a little bit under. I had a fantastic easy birth in the end.
