28wk u/s BIG GIRL!!

[PamelaBee]

Hi ladies, I had my 28 wk 3d u/s yesterday (my last u/s during this pregnancy, unless something happens) I couldn't believe the clarity, I saw my little girls precious face!   My baby is measuring at 30wks, she is 3lbs and 15"long, and has a "big brain" polite for big head : )  My Perinatologist said she is in the 70% growth percentile, and will be over an 8lb baby!!  GOOD GOD!!  How is that going to come out of me???  I knew she was a big girl, my belly is pretty big, much larger than with my son. That explains the chowing down I've been doing for the past 6 mos!  For those of you that had a similar situation, will this mean I may deliver earlier?  My due date is Aug 3rd.  Are measurements very accurate at this stage, or prone to change upon delivery?  Please share your stories!  Thanks, Pam

Be over joyed that your baby is going to be big. My girls are now 4 wks old and today Emily weighed 6 lbs and 6 ounces and Alexis 5 lbs and 14 ounces. They have grown so much but still are such small babies

Thanks girls...My sisters and I were 8lb+ babies, so I guess it's a family trait.  Rachel..relax and eat? That's my problem!!! LOL

Hey girl...don't sweat it!! They are more accurate now than when I had my older kids 22 and 20 years ago. I never had a sonogram with my dd, I was 18yrs old at the time, never had a u/s at all with her and she weighed 10lbs 2 1/2oz and was 22 1/2 inches long. My ds was 11lbs and was 22 inches long. His u/s the day they induced me said he would only be 8+ lbs. My youngest who will be 13 on Aug 2 (good day to have a baby), they induced 3 weeks early because his u/s said he was already 10lbs, he only ended up bein an even 8lbs and was only 19 3/4in. Sit back and relax, everything is going great and soon you will have a beautiful chunky monkey and all will be right in the world!!!!

What a great visit!!!! Oh, I love big babies!!!!!!! Cooper came about three weeks early and he weighed 8lbs 3.5 oz so needless to say I am worried about having another Chunky Monkey, but man I love the fat little rolls!!!!

I would imagine that the measurments would be very accurate. Just sit back relax and eat!!!!

AWW!!  They wont do my 3d until after 30weeks, but I had a regular u/s yesterday at 27.0 and they were guessing between 2.8-3lbs. My last 2 (18yrs ago....) were 9.10 for my girl and 10.9 for my boy, so Im no stranger to C-secs. My peri made the comment "...you sure do grow 'em big"  :)
