4 pounds at 27 weeks is this normal!

I think this sounds quite big for this stage! Anyone know??

It is on the bigger side. But its only an estimate. I assume they will monitor you more and let you have a GD test.

my LO was 5lb at 33 weeks and that was considered bigger than normal. but her weight either slowed or the estimate was wrong as she was born 8lb 9 oz

For comparison.

At my 27+4 u/s they estimated she weighed 2lbs & my baby is on the small side

Now at 34w+5 u/s est she is 4lbs 13oz.
Still on the small side.

As as a comparison..
My baby was 2lbs4oz at 27 weeks.
3lbs3oz at 30+2
3lbs7oz at 32+2
4lbs10oz today at 34+2

It does seem a little big but it's just an estimate and can often be wrong! xx

At 24 weeks they estimated her weight at 1lb 12 oz which was a little on the big side. I'll find out what she is at 30 weeks next week. I am interested to see if she is still on the big side or not.

Mine was 5lb6oz at 32 weeks and they say she's measuring 3 weeks ahead and if she were any bigger they'd test for GD etc

My LO was estimated to be 2lb11 at 28+2 and he's slightly on the bigger side of average, but still normal IYKWIM, so yes sounds pretty big, but they can be soo far out it's unbelievable

I had a growth scan today and was told I'm measuring 1 week bigger and he is 3lb 4ox xx
