I agree with froggy01 .. the weight they give you is only a estimation not 100% accurate ... my first baby they told me she was under sized and was going to be extremely tiny (this was few days before birth) and she came out @7lbs 11oz (other 3 were preemies) and our 4th was suppose to be tiny as well and came out at 7lbs 1oz.

The ultrasound can be way off! I was told after my scan at 37 weeks to expect baby to be about 6lb at delivery and that it was a shame I was having a c section as baby had a small head and would be easy to birth. She was 8lb 5oz and had a rather large head circumference! Take what the scan reads with a grain of salt!
