Hey Ollie,
I wouldn't try to read too much into it. As far as I know the 5oth percentile is good, means bubs is smack bang right on the average size for his age. But like Michelle said, scans can also be a little out, so he could be bigger than the results say. But just remember that the percentiles are only done on an average range. It takes smaller babies and bigger babies to create these average measurements, if that makes sense. So what I'm trying to say is, that all bubies are different and I'm sure your bubs is as happy and healthy as the next.
BTW I'm jealous I wish I could get to see bubs again.
Mel,
I think and this is an honest guess I have had about 8 scans with this pregnancy. It's great to see him but it's not so great as to way I have had that many scans. Thank you for making me feel better about his weight. I guess time will tell.
Yeah I know Ollie, I was just thinking yesterday I wonder how I could get to have another look at Jack before he arrives. But your definately right about the reasons to have the scans done, it's probably easier not having to have them done, even if it means you get to see them again. I'm sorry for making you feel a little upset, but I'm glad that I could make you feel a little better about his weight. My little girl was only 2.95kg when she was born, I don't know if Jack is going to be so small, not going by how much bigger I am with him than I was with her, anyway. It will be interesting to see just how big this little guy is going to be. I'm going to guess 3.6kg. What about you, care to take a guess on your bubba?
