newborn clothes????

So I'm 38 weeks prego and our baby girl is measuring approx 9 lbs already . Do you think I should rethink the newborn sleepers in our bag and take more 0-3 months ? Newborn diapers should still be ok I hope ? TIA its been 8 years since my last baby was born so it's like starting over again lol .

Babies can go down a little in weight after birth too. I'm doubting she'll fit newborn for long. I'd keep the stuff for after birth try them on and take them back if they don't fit. I wouldn't buy any more until you know

With my daughter at her 36 week ultrasound they estimated her weight to be 6 lbs 7 oz.  She was born 2 weeks later at that exact same weight.  So either she didn't grow those last two weeks or they were off.

Don't always assume they r accurate in the size of the baby...it's usually not accurate when they measure the weight on ultrasound ..they were anywhere from 2-3 pounds off each time they tried 2 tell me how big my baby's were gonna be .take a couple of both sizes to b sure. Congrats and good luck. :)

Yes we have tons of clothes in all sizes as well but starting to think maybe newborn will be a bit small .. wasnt sure if any ladies on here had given birth to a baby around that size and what their suggestions were lol .. we packed a few of each :-)

I don't know how many lbs my little girl will be but I started buying clothes. Sometimes I buy newborn, sometimes I buy 0-3 months and other time 3-6. Call me crazy but I think the plan will work. However she comes out, we will be prepared!
