*growth scan* what did your baby weigh at 34 weeks??

[LEAME224]

So I had a second growth scan yesterday and all is fine although they say he is under average for weight 4lb 14oz or 2206g at the last one 3 weeks ago he was 3lb 4oz so has put on quite a bit ..
All the baby apps say he should be just under 5lb so I don't see how he can be under average??

How much did your little ones weigh?

I was due to have one at 34 weeks but the receptionist cancelled it!! I've got one today at 36 weeks instead. At 32 weeks she was weighing in at 4lbs 1oz x

I was also told baby is under average- at 34 week growth scan he weighed 4lb 5oz, at first I was freaking out thinking he wasn't healthy or big enough, but at 38 week scan he was 6lb 8oz, which I think is grand

My growth scan at around 32 weeks was 3lb 13oz, the consultant said that I was going to have a small baby (estimate of 6lb). Had another at 37 weeks and baby was 6lb 3oz; given another estimate of around 6.5lb to 7lb .. I know this is only a guide though

My younger DD was born at 34 weeks. She weighed 5lbs 3ozs, which they said was pretty big for dates.

I would have said your LO's weight sounds about right for your dates too. If babies add half a pound each week for the last six weeks of pregnancy then you're looking at a perfect 7 pounder.

I was
4lb 7oz @ 32+2
And
5lb 5oz @ 33+2

Above average 5lbs 14oz to 6lbs

At our growth scan at 35 weeks they said baby weighs about 5 lbs 11 oz which they said is about 54% percentile as I think they said average at that stage is 5.5 lbs. seems like your baby's weight is just about right for 34 weeks

At 33+4 bubs was weighing 5lb1oz. Your bubs weight is in the normal range, as my bub was JUST over the norm, so don't worry

Just an FYI... These are estimates. My friend had a scan at 37 weeks and they said the baby was 8+3. She went into labor later that day, had the baby the next day and he was 9+2!!! So don't worry too much.

Soooo true! They were off by almost 2 lbs with my first. Said he would be almost 9 lbs and was only 7 lbs 6oz so they really can be off a bit either way

That's strange, I just had one at 34 weeks and mine is 3.5 lbs and they said that's normal weight

So mine is underweight according to everyone else's doctors LOL!

Remember it is still just an estimate!!!!

lily-mae weighed about 3.5lbs at 31 weeks and she is now 7lbs at 37 weeks

my little girl weighed 4lb 10oz at my 32+5 week growth scan. x

Babies gain about 1/2 a pound a week.
At 36 weeks my son weight 6 pounds was born at 39+3 at 7 pound 7oz so it was pretty accurate for me!

 

[Indigo77]

@ 34 weeks, his u/s weight estimate was 5 lbs, 10 oz, (70th percentile)

(50th percentile = 4.73 pounds or 2146 grams @ 34 weeks)

Who told you your LO is underweight?

Starting @ 35 weeks, babies tend to gain around 1/2 lb / week, so your LO's birth weight should be close to average.
