Baby weight accuracy?

[JordieC]

I had to have a 28 week scan on Monday and all was good - baby is measuring above average now! They said it was 1.8 kg at 28 weeks. Does this mean I will have a whopper? I know there is room for error but has anyone's scan's been accurate? mackenzie was born at 40 weeks and weighed 3.775 kg.

i had a scan at 37 weeks with my son and they told me he was 7 pound 7 ounce , i had him one week later and he was 3690g which they told me was 8 pound exactly
with my daughter they told me at 36 weeks she was 2.4kg i had her at 38 weeks as well and she was 2.7 exactly, so there is i think they say 700g either side. at least ur bub is doing very well to be that big already hehehe

Not accurate at all.

I was told DS would be a big boy and weigh in the high 8 lbs - he was 7lb 5oz - nowhere near their guess.

Don't count on it being accurate - Juliette was predicted to be 3.2kg at term & she was actually 4.5kg so they can be waaaay out (both ways).

No they aren't all that accurate....

i doubt it they told my sil that she would have an 8 pounder but he was 6 pounds way off...

yeah not accurate at all.

Both the older boys were way off what they said, MORE than 700g off.

Ashton they said he was a nice size, but they were floored when I birthed him and he was 5kg (11lbs)

At 34 weeks I was told I'd be having a 7 to 7 1/2 pound bub at full term. I gave birth at 38/4 & he was 7 pound 13 so would've been even bigger had I got to 40 weeks. I expected a smaller bub to be honest as both my ex and I were small bubs.
