I'm a little nervous because I just had my 20 week ultrasound and the doctor said my baby is 1lb 5oz and should be more like 10 1/2oz. My first son was average weight so this is really new to me, I don't know if it's serious or not? I would assume too big is better than too small. Maybe it's my diet? I eat pretty well but probably eat more calories than I should. Should I be worrying so much?
Dont always go with what the doctors say when it pertains to the babys weight inside of you. I was told a 22 wks that my daughter was already 6 pounds and was probably going to be 12-14 pounds at birth. I had alot of excess fluid around her inside the womb. when she was born at 41 1/2 weeks she was 8 pounds
My dr told me that my son was going to be over 10lbs from the first altersound he was only 8lbs 11ozs born on his due date.
At 38 weeks I was told my son was already in the high 8s and I need to induce or I would end up with a c-section. She told me he could easily be born at 10 lbs. I refused the induction. He was born at 41 weeks (and 11 lbs by her calculations) at just under 7 lbs! So yeah, don't believe them.
