What was your baby’s weight at around 34 weeks?

[dreamerkr]

I had a growth scan and baby was measuring 5lb 9oz, so he’s on the bigger side. How much was your baby measuring at this stage if you remember? X

Bump

My son was born at 34 weeks and weighed 5lbs 4. At 6 weeks old, when he should have been due, he was 7lbs.

@generalh thank you! Did your son have to stay at the hospital for a few days after he was born or could he go home with you? X

He was in for 4 weeks as he had a problem with his breathing. He was in an incubator and then Special care for 4 weeks.

Born at 35 and was 4 pounds 6

6lb4 at 34 weeks, 10lb at birth

Sorry I meant to say born at 40+1

4lb 15oz on my growth scan at 33+4 weeks. She's average size just shy of 50th centile apparently.

Although I've been told that the estimated weight and actual weight can vary massively.

Born at 36 weeks and were 5lb11 and 5lb12. My last scan was 34 and IIRC correctly they were just over the 5lb mark.

Ds was born at 35 weeks weighing 5.7.
Dropped to 4. 12. Was like taking a skinned rabbit home!

Born at 34 weeks, 4 lb

I had my son at 34 weeks plus 2 days, he was 4lbs 11oz. I'm not sure if the growth scans are that accurate anyway.

Mine was born at 34 weeks exactly. She was measured at 3lb6 and weighed 3lb6. She was delivered early due to IUGR.

Born at 35 weeks - weighed 8lb 🦛

6lb 4oz at 34 week scan. 10lb at birth (a week overdue)

@dreamerkr dc born at 33 weeks and was just an ounce shy of 5lbs

4lbs according to the scan. I doubt it though because he was born at exactly 39 weeks weighing 8lb3.

My first was estimated to be 5lbs 1oz at 33+5. He was born 8lbs 15oz at 41+5 so growth scan was pretty accurate.

My second was estimated to be 5lbs 4oz at 34+4 and 7lbs 9oz at 38+4. I’m still pregnant so not sure if these are accurate or not.

At 34+2 growth scan predicted this baby to be 6lb 7oz 🙈
At 38+2 they predicted 8lb 7oz so he does seem to be following the average gain of 0.5lb a week!
DD2 was born at 40+6 weighing 7lb which is apparently small enough to mean I needed the growth scans this pregnancy, so it's a little funny for them to now be predicting he's huge. I'm now 38+4 so will see how accurate they are once he arrives! x

Thank you so much guys!
