I have no clue what she's going to weigh. I haven't had an ultrasound in almost 14 weeks. And when I went for my 20 week scan, she was weighing a little over 1 pound. I don't think I'll get another ultrasound, unless they find that there is something wrong.
 
Thanks ladies, I thought maybe the doc had that wrong. The prenatal specialist said she is measuring perfect.

Princesskell, it looks like you'll be first! Well, maybe it'll be a close tie between you and Geralyn. How exciting!! I have to get a hospital bag together too, maybe I'll do it after the shower in case I get a cuter outfit than what I have for her homegoing outfit.

Mariemo, happy belated birthday! We have even more in common, it seems like. Are you a scorpio too?
 
I'm guessing 8lbs for my little girl but I have a growth scan at 36 weeks so I might revise that! In saying that, I still remain to be convinced about the accuracy of growth scans!

cncem - I'm a scorpio too! It is my birthday two days after my due date :wacko:

Mariemo - Happy Belated Birthday!!
 
I also haven't had a scan of any kind since like 20 weeks. So i'm just guessing weight based on what DH and I weighed at birth, and wether I think I will go early or late (I think I'll go a little late). But who knows! We'll see how my fundal height is measuring at my appointment tonight.

I wore leggings to work for the first time today - so comfy! I could see myself wearing these a lot more often. Who's going to say anything to the pregnant lady? :)
 
My fundal height has been measuring spot on for a while. I'm a twin so I weighed 6 lbs 3 ounces when I was born and I think OH weighed somewhere around 7 lbs when he was born.

Oops this is the average weight chart I was looking at b4
 
My weight with this prgnancy has gone sky high! I eat normal as to when i wasnt preggo and not gained anyhthin at all but mow every little thing is makng me gain weight...ive gained over 50lbs already its TOOOO much but then i think about baby almost being here and get over it....id prefer to gain than to not gain as wat i experienced with my missed miscarriage i didnt gain anythin at all.
 
Hi ladies! Sorry I've been popping in and out so much lately. Been so busy to try to keep up. Exciting to know things are going to be getting EXTRA interesting in here soon! I have a growth scan at 36 weeks too (this coming Monday). This is new to me! I didn't have one with my DD1. I am really curious to know how it goes. My DD was 6 lbs 2 oz at 39+3. My mom is convinced I'm about to have something like a 9 lb baby because she thinks I'm sooo big. Really mom. I'm on track for weight gain almost exactly where I was with DD, I just started with 5 extra lbs. And I definitely don't have the abdominal muscle tone now I had before my first pregnancy. Plus you can carry differently from pregnancy to pregnancy right?? I expect this one to be a little bigger, but not massive. I'm thinking 7 lbs give or take a few oz, but we'll see what Monday brings. OB said something about me having small babies at my last appt. I'm not really worried if this one is small again. Mine was skinny, but she was long. And perfectly healthy, no problems at all.
 
I'm up about 25 pounds at this point. Little more than I would have liked, but I'm not concerned at all. I told a woman at work today I had just over 6 weeks left and she said "oh but you are so tiny!". She is my new best friend.
 
Thank you ladies for the birthday wishes!
So today is our 4th anniversary. Chase celebrated by waking up at 10:30pm and not going back to sleep until about 3am. We tried EVERYTHING and nothing worked. She was just awake and ready to play. So the longer I'm laying in bed trying to get her to go back to sleep, the more my back/hips start hurting. Ugh. I ended up taking a hot shower at 1am just trying to get by back to feel better. I put on a heat patch on a really sore spot, and it helped a lot. Once I got back into bed, I felt a lot better...and actually got to sleep from 3am until 7am. I'm exhausted today.

I was 7lb 8oz at birth, at 38+4 weeks. My DH was 9lb 3oz at birth, not sure how late/early he was. Chase was 6lb 10oz at birth at 39+2. Reese is measuring about the same right now in terms of fundal height, but we'll know better at the 36 week appt/scan. At that point, they measured Chase at just over 5lbs, and they said at 40 weeks she'd be around 7lbs. So they weren't too terribly far off. That's where I'm getting my 7lb 2oz guess, assuming we make it to 40ish weeks.


You guys, I'm so tired. It's reminiscent of newborn tired. But with newborn tired, I didn't have to go to work! Ugh :(

I love those people.
That and the "you're all belly, you haven't gained weight anywhere else!" people. God bless them.

I need to get my leggings out. What did you wear them with, top-wise? I have a cute tunic I'd love to wear but it doesn't fully cover my butt, and I'm afraid that wouldn't be totally appropriate for work.

No, I'm a Libra. Smack dab in the middle of that sign, and very much fit the definition! I'm looking at a feisty Scorpio daughter, though, and that scares the crap out of me!!! My little Leo is bad enough...
 
I haven't a clue what baby will weigh. I have been measuring 2 weeks over per fundal height every visit. I also lost about 25 lbs. in the 1st & 2nd tri due to HG and now weigh exactly what I did before I found out I was pregnant. So maybe 8 lbs. or a little over?

Oh and I'm term today!!! :dance:

I wore it with a silk tunic and a cardigan. It mostly covered my bum but not completely. It was good enough for me and I am generally pretty conservative.
 
I have somehow actually lost weight during this pregnancy. I'm currently about 9 pounds below my pre-pregnancy weight. In the first trimester, I was definitely eating less than normal due to morning sickness and a general lack of appetite. However, I have been eating normally during the second and third trimester (although slightly adjusted now due to GD diet), and I have still been either staying the same or losing a bit at each doctor appointment.

With my twins I gained 22 pounds by 32 weeks when I had them. Not sure why this time is different.
 
Oh Mariemo that is a crappy night :cry:

When does Scorpio start then? Maybe I will have a libra? My mum and brother are both scorpions and they sure are feisty!!

I'm still just feeling a bit 'off it' nothing I can put my finger on, I think maybe it's just an end of pregnancy tiredness hitting? My parents are away overnight tomorrow so I just need to get through that as they are supposed to have F when I go in? They will cancel if I start in labour before they set off but if they go tomorrow morning they will not be back until Saturday afternoon.

I love my leggings. I wear them with long jumpers, shirts and dresses, always just covering my bum!! Xxx
