Measuring 90th centile

[Kato2]

Ive gone from 25th (25 wk) centile to 90th (28 wk- measured 28cm at 28+1) and just wondering those of you who measured 90th... What weight was your baby! I'm nervous he's going to be huge and I am very petite. I had just gone through a growth spurt so may even out... Anyone go up and down the entire time?

didnt want to read and run but my problem is opposite end of the scale
at my 25 week ultrasound my baby girl was only measuring on the 6th centile

but the doctor said because her growth was consistant through all scans to that date that i will just have a little baby.

now im faced with GD and waiting to do my second test..

good luck

My baby measuring in 95th centile... I have a growth scan on Monday (39+2) to determine whether I can deliver naturally :0(

My first baby was on the 97th centile, 9lb12oz at birth. I delivered vaginally, needed forceps tho. At a 34+4 scan she measured 6lb7oz, same as a 37 weeker. My fundal height also was 2-3 weeks bigger toward the end.

I myself was completely off the chart at 11lb, Mum had me with no tearing or anything.
It can be done!

My twins were each on the 95th centile at 22 weeks, then have gone to the 70th centile at 24+3 scan.

I'm measuring on the 90th centile (fundal height) so will be interested to see answers!! I asked my midwife if that ment I was going to have a big baby and as said it all depends because it's an exterior measurement so could just mean lots of water or position of baby affects it too! I had a scan 2 weeks ago (32 weeks) and estimated weight was 4lb 8oz. Xxx

I'm measuring 95th centile. Had a growth scan at the hospital at 36 weeks and she was weighing in at 3.7kg (not sure what that is in pounds). Funny thing is when she was being measured, she was head down to begin with and then she moved her head to my right side while the doctor was scanning her - he said there's no way she can be THAT big if she moved like that!

I do however have another appointment next Wednesday where they'll decide on what to do. I'm petite as well (5ft 1") with very small hips so I have no idea what they'll say. He did mention about induction so it will probably end up like that and they won't let me go overdue. I'm not worried too much about it as those scans can be off by a considerable amount.

Before pregnancy i was just a tad overweight according to my bmi, but i honestly didnt look overweight, iv always been really wide at the hips and if i stand straight on, you can only tell im pregnant due to the stretch marks lol,

When i started having my fundal done at 28 weeks i was in the 90th percentile and i had a scan at 28 weeks and 2 days and little one was estimated to be 3 pound 4 ounces which i thought was pretty big for then, since then everytime i get measured im in the 90th percentile, my estimated weight for delivery is 9 pounds 4 Because my hips are soooooo huge im hoping it wont be that bad lol xxx

With my 1st I was on the 60th line and she was 8lb 7 this time I'm on the 90th so who knows but when u look at the details it's only half a cm difference do the weight can't be that different. A friend of mine recently had a baby boy she was always measuring 2 weeks ahead and had a 9lb 7

i went from the midfle line at 28 weeks to being about 1-2cms above the 90th centile and being measured every two weeks!! estimated birth weight for baby is 9lb 7oz!! with DD i was on the 90th centile and she was born at 41 weeks and weighed 8lb 8oz and that was the weight they had estimated she would be!!

dont forget fundal height measurements arnt always accurate, i know im haveing another big baby as bump is solid and 4 diff midwives and docs have said its all baby!! xx
