Growth Scans

So, I've been told baby is quite large, and was just discussing my notes on my growth scans with anotehr lady on my antenatal thread.

Has anyone had the scans throughout and remembers the centiles baby was on? How much did baby weigh?

Mine just has 3rd,50th and 75th centiles, and head circumference,abdo circumferencefemur in mm, and umbilical artery.
On head circ it has gone from just above 3rd centile at 20weeks, to 50th centile at 24wks, and then 97th centile at 32 weeks.
Abdo has stayed at 97th pretty much all the way, as has femur.

My dd was on the 98th centile for her abdominal circumference measurement at 38 weeks and she was born at 40 weeks weighing 8lbs 10.5oz. At 38 weeks they estimated she was then 8lb 3oz so they weren't far off.

Can't remember any of the other scan but there was nothing else that high, all around 50th-75th I think.

Still looking for this 'huge' tummy though...

Oh, and they induced me because she was so hideously enormous

Being a naive first timer, I went along with it without question. Gits.

I had a few (three, I think) growth scans as my dr seemed convinced I may have a small baby due to my high bp.

The growth scans all seemed to show a BIG baby. Can't remember the centiles but she always seemed to be measuring about 2 weeks aheads of dates. I know by the last scan (38+5) they were telling me she was over 9lbs. Dd was born a week later weighing a respectable but not enormous 7lb 14.

So they're not always accurate

I wish I could remember what DS and DD's were on the charts!

I am 33weeks and fundal height is 38 cm. My growth scans since 21 weeks have shown baby to be on 97th for abdomen and head, 80th for femur until 32 weeks then head measured on 80th. My fluid is up too. I am getting worried with 6 weeks to go how big is my baby going to get? and also will I still be able to walk by 40 weeks?!! Boo hoo!
