Can they get this wrong?!?!

Anyone else have any more stories or opinions on this?
I was enjoying seeing how many have had it wrong...it gives me hope tongue

Kel I found the late ultrasound to be correct. They predicted my girls birthweight and got it pretty right. I wouldnt be scared, remember everything has already stretched once before, so this timee should be easier even if she is bigger. A was a 9 pounder, it was hard work but not any more painful than the others

I had an U/S at 35 weeks because I was huge as were my measurements I was 39cm at 34 weeks, They told me that Locky was already 7 pound 2 and he would be born at least 10 pound 6

I was freaking out big time about him not fitting out of me

He was born 2 days early 8 pnd 5

So they were wayyyy out lol

Hi! Wow my first post in yonks!
I had a baby boy in december and because i was measuring big, they did a scan and i was told that i had a lot of fluid..
They also estimated bubs size but it is give or take 500grams either side,,,,,
Turns out bubs came 2 days over due weighing.......9.2pounds or 4.155kg!!!!
So scans can be give or take 500grams. They cant get an exact so i wouldnt stress to much!!!

You must be so excited!

Hi chickie,

With our lil man we were told that they thought he was going to be small going by their measurements so off for a ultrasound we went.

They measured him and said he was small and going to be about 5lb 10 oz well they were quite close as 3 days later when born he was 5lb 3oz so near enough

I have heard of others which were told a certain weight but the baby was smaller

good luck
