How accurate are weight predictions via ultrasound?

I wouldn't worry too much yet because a lot of people have been told they are having a big bub and a little bubba comes out!

Yep and also- why does a big baby matter? Their heads moosh up to fit through and head sizes barely vary regardless of overall weight anyway so it's pretty much a moot point. You can birth this baby no matter the size

Oh, Meow, I'm not worried about a big bubba! I'm very happy that he's a good size already, particularly if he's born early Thanks for the encouragement about getting him out though!

We had a pretty detailed scan from what I could tell, everything was measured a couple of times and they didn't seem to leave anything unchecked. Was very reassuring to see that everything was fine!

Really appreciate the feedback!

Take any guess as to bub's size with a grain of salt. It is impossible to accurately guess, so if they happen to get it right, it's sheer luck really. Knowing that bubs is growing well is all you need to concern yourself with

i was told at 34+2 weeks that DS was measuring at 40+ weeks and over 3.5kg. he was born the next day weighing 2.7kg. its only a guestimate and very rarely right

For me it was very accurate. 3 days before i was induced i had a growth scan and they told me bubs was 6lb 6oz, when he was born he was 6lb 5oz.

Krystals i had an ultrasound today and they told me that bubs rough weight was also 5 pound i am not overally worried but i suppose if we prepare ourselves for big babies we should be right!!! Goodluck and sounds like our babies have similar ideas!!!!! Take care talk soon
