small baby!!

[trista1986]

Hello I am 34 weeks will,be 35 weeks on Friday! My last appointment when I was 33 weeks they say my baby was 1 week behind,  but weighed under 4lbs.. my doc said he is foing to be a small baby and if I make it to 40 weeks he will be maybe 6 lbs. My question is has anyone been told their baby is small and was actually not as small as they thought? And I only went to 38 weeks with my first son. If I deliver a couple weeks early, I don't want my baby to be ssuper small! I also don't wanna be pregnant longer then 40 weeks so I'm hoping he grows soon!

My daughter who went 39 +5 was only supposed to maybe be five pounds and they were kinda really worried about her weight.  Yeah she came out 9lbs.

I measured 1 week behind as well then delivered 1 week early and was very worried about size. He was 6lbs12oz and is perfect and healthy.  3 days after birth was back to his birth weight.

Oh yeah as long as baby is healthy. Baby will gain weight after birth. My first was 5lbs and 12 oz. My current is projected to be 7.5lbs. But what the doc tells you is just an estimate.

My first child was 5 lbs 10 oz and was just fine as long as the baby is healthy that's all that matters.

Thanks lady's my 1st baby was born at 38 weeks and was 7lbs 3 oz, they never did a growth ultrasound on him. This one they say is under 4 lbs last week if I deliver a few weeks early, I hope he would be at least 5 lbs

I only weighed 6 lbs 6 ounces when I was born and I was a week late! Lol. My son was born at 35 weeks. The estimated him at 4 lbs "or so" and he was 5lbs. As long as your baby is healthy it doesn't matter. My placenta wasn't working properly causing him to lag behind buy he was like 3 weeks behind they said.
