37w with a large baby

My ultrasound sound came back and says he is about 7lbs 7oz already.  I am dreading this birth seeing as I am still 3 weeks away!!!  My daughter was 6lb 2oz.  Anyone else having a large baby?

They told me my baby would be 10+lbs he ended up being 8lbs 5oz
Ultrasounds can be off so don't worry.

When I had my last ultrasound, they told me if I went fullterm my son would be well over 10lbs. Scared the crap out of me. He was born 1 day early 8lbs 7oz. They're wrong all the time.  2lbs +/-on a newborn is a HUGE difference

My first two were 8 lbs 12 oz and 8 lbs 9 oz respectively. I'm only 5 2. I assume this little girl will be the same. It wasn't difficult. You'll be okay.

I had an ultrasound at 37 weeks and my baby was measuring 7 lbs 8 oz. But my doctor told me not to worry about it because it's just an estimate. It could be off by one or two pounds either way but you won't know until they are born. And my due date is 5 days away so I'll be finding out soon how big he is.
