Baby weight at 29weeks

[lillme]

Had my 29 week checks yesterday and first time I learnt their weight. On the chart we are at the top end of the scale at 3.2lbs, it's saying we should be 2.2lbs & weighing what they should at 31 weeks.
I am not exactly big so husband is thinking if they continue at this pace we may run out of room and come two weeks early?!
Is there any rhyme or reason to this. I am just thankful that she is getting all the nutrition she requires and my body is doing what it is meant to.
Thanks for reading

I don't think it necessarily works that way. At 30 weeks, my son was estimated at 3lbs. He was born at 40 + 3 weighing 7lbs 13oz. Remember, the weights provided at growth scans are estimates only, nothing more.

I had a 4D scan at 29 weeks and they estimated my baby to weigh 3.8lbs. I thought that seemed really big. My bump isn't overly massive though, I'm slim so it's pretty prominent but nothing crazy. I wouldn't worry x

I was the same at 28 weeks he was over 3 lbs now I'm 34 weeks had a scan 2 weeks ago and he was 5 lbs he's seems to have slowed down now he's always been 97th percentile x

My daughter was born at 27+4 actually weighing 2lb 14oz - more than what you read your 29 weeker "should be".

These type of scans are often way off as well, but weight doesnt mean baby will arrive early. Dont panic!

In my case my big babies were both late, ds1 was 9lb 10oz and 1 week late and ds2 was 11lb 10oz and 2 days late.

My sisters 6lb 2oz baby was 3 weeks early. So in our family size had nothing to do with when baby arrived.

Oh thank you all for your responses and settling my thoughts. I thought at this rate she will be big lol as it's the first I haven't a clue what to expect pr what is 'normal'.
I also got my rhesus neg injection yesterday and my eyes and nose have not stopped tripping me today. Anyone else have that happen?
