Growth Scan Accuracy

I thought I would write an update for all looking for the info!!
I had growth scans from around 20 weeks every week or every other up till 38+5. The consultants seemed like 100% on the accuracy of the growth scans when regularly done throughout your pregnacy.
My son followed the 40th percentile the whole pregnancy and was delivered on Tuesday by C Section 39+2 he was predicted to be born at 7lbs 7oz just days before he was born, he was actually 8lbs 11oz on arrival and got a smidge stuck!

There was constant bloody panic stations over DS being 'big' from 30 weeks, and he was 8lb15 at a week over. And as anyone who'd bothered to ask would have been told, his dad and I were both long, and his dad has a massive head and oh look, long baby with massive head, no danger of anything except never finding hats that fit.

They were way out on both of my pregnancies. Both "measured" around 8lbs and we're actually 5lbs12 and 6lbs4.

They were off on my DD. Said she'd be 9-10lb at 38 weeks so induced me. She was born at 8lb 5oz.
