Really interested to hear how big your babies were around 33 weeks and how big they were born?
I have three children who all measured big throughout and were big born, however this pregnancy I'm measuring bang on 50th centile with him weighing roughly 4lb 4oz at 33 weeks. I know the scans can be inaccurate but Interested to hear how big yours were?? 😁

they were concerned he would be big (no idea why..)

9lb, 10lb at 40 weeks and 7lb 8oz, 7lb 8oz twins at 39 weeks. The 10lb baby was the easiest birth of them all !

Going by NHS dates, my DD was estimated at 2094g (about 4lbs 10?) at 32 weeks and was 8lbs 7 at birth (41 weeks).

Centiles don't mean anything, as at least if you're using the GROW charts, the centiles are totally different based on your age/ethnicity/size of previous children.

Example: DD was estimated at 1365g at 28 weeks, marked as being on 90th centile. Current pregnancy baby estimated at 1368g at 28 weeks, and is on the 50th centile. My GROW charts are completely different for these 2 pregnancies as they take into consideration so many factors.
