It won't be long now before we start seeing birth announcements. How exciting!!

I must be looking extra uncomfortable or something. I have been stopped several times by complete strangers and either told that I looked like I was 'ready to pop' or asked if baby was due any day now. :blush:

Oh hey! We both live in Kansas! Small world considering so many women on this site are British :haha: Are you in or around the Wichita area?

So do I. Crazy!
 
Ive been having BH constantly today..3 more weeks or less yayy cant wait.
 
I don't think 4lb 11oz sounds big for 33 weeks at all! At 32 weeks, my little guy was measured at 5lb 4oz, and the doctor said he was in the 71st percentile....so a lighter weight at a later gestation seems like it would be right on average.

Also, my son was born at 32 weeks and he weighed 4lb 3oz, and he was around the 50th percentile. If it were me, I would ask again about why they feel it's necessary to induce early.

Anyone want to make guesses on what their baby will weigh at birth? If I make it to 39 weeks, I think mine will be around 8lb 4oz (3.75kg).
 
They're guessing my little lady is around 3.5 pounds right now, so if I make it all the way to my due date I'm going to guess she'll be almost 8 pounds! But I don't see myself going past 37 weeks :wacko:
 
Last week at 35 wks exact my boy weighed 5lbs 9oz so well see how big he is.
 
I'm guessing about 8.5 since all my siblings were over 8 lbs and my sisters both had babies over 8 lbs.
 
Dragonflywing, I don't know why she said baby is big, it seems like every baby site says baby should be weighing about 5 pounds now, which if she was 4 11 a week ago she should be just over 5 now. My specialist said she is weighing perfect, not too much due to GD and not too little due to high blood pressure. My son was born at 35/36 weeks and weighed 4 pounds 11 ounces. But ob said between 38 and 39 weeks. I guess that if Macie continues growing gaining a half pound a week and assuming a little over 5 pounds now, then by 39 weeks she'll be a little over 7 and 1/2 pounds. That sounds perfect to me.

My husband bought all the meat for the BBQ for the baby shower Sat. My friend who's throwing it said that about 30 people rsvp'd. My sister and neice will be here Friday for the shower and I can't Wait! I'm so fricking excited. Then I'm doing maternity pics next week. Then the next thing to look forward to is having the baby. I was cutting out coupons the other day and realized that Macie will be here before some of them expire. Woah!
 
cncem, Macie doesn't seem big at all to me...my friend had a 34 week preemie born at 4lb 7oz. Macie isn't that much bigger than that.

I opened up some cheese the other day that expires on Reese's due date. Trippy!

Imagine if you opened up some reeses and they expired on the dd!
 
I don't think Macie seems that big either. Declan was measuring 5 lbs 8 oz at my 32 week growth ultrasound! He's in the 88% percentile. Isla was only measuring 3 lbs 14 oz in the 33% percentile. They are recommending I go no later than 37 weeks, not because of Declan's size, but more because of the discrepancy between the two added with my BP issues. Declan's massive size alone wouldn't necessitate an early birth. :shrug:
 
And baby girl is stretching like crazy in there tonight! She must be starting to run out of room. A little bit uncomfy!
 
Happy birthday Mariemo :hugs:

F was 9lb, so I'm guessing this one will be about the same? :shrug:
I really thought I was in labour all day yesterday. I just felt a bit rotten, like really cramp and twingy. I kept getting really sharp pains but no regular pattern. I think it could be baby just moving its head?? Anyway I've warned dh....he was freaking out, but I definitely need to do my bag properly today!! Xxx
 
DS was 7lb4 at 39 weeks I think she'll be very similar but I think I'll go to 41 weeks.

Heartburn/indegestion is really getting me down.

Found OH cracking up at YouTube clip 'I'm so pregnant'

I just got back from my 34 week appt and the doc wants to induce me at 38 weeks due to Macie being big already. She was estimated to weigh 4lbs 11 ounces at the end a week ago, is that too big for 33 weeks? I may have to have a csec if my cervix is not favorable, or if she is too big to fit through birth canal. I'm down a pound since last month, and not gaining weight these last few weeks, but I'm super bummed that my shower is Sat, my birthday is coming up the 27th and then Halloween and I can't eat candy or cake. Sucks, but it is what it is. Thank heaven this is my last one. So, 3 weeks and 6 days to go, maybe she'll be born on my birthday or Halloween, that would be cool. She is going to be a fiery fierce little Scorpio just like her mamma.

At 31+5 weeks baby was 2.1 kg (4p7)

At 36 baby was 3.058kg (6p7)

So I think your measurements sound fine and would be asking for another before they take a baby that may not be ready!

If you go down bottom of this page it says average weight for 33 weeks is 4 pound 12.

Oh and I also have not gained ANY weight this pregnancy!
