Midwife guessing baby weight

post #1 of 3
Thread Starter 
Did your midwife accurately estimate your baby's weight? I'm jut curious. I had my 39 week prenatal and she guessed that my little sweetie will be 6 1/2 lbs or so. My DD was almost 9 lbs, but I'm pretty sure I had undiagnosed GD during that pregnancy. This time, I for sure have GD, but my sugar levels have been very good. I've also only gained 4 lbs or so in the last 10 weeks. I would be so shocked if I had a little baby. We're a big baby family!
So how accurate were your midwife's guestimates?

My MW did and she was pretty much right on. I thought I was going to have a 10+ lbs. baby because my last was about 9 1/2 lbs. My MW said baby #4 would be in-between ds2, who was 8 lbs., 7 oz., and ds3. i didn't believe her because my babies had gotten progressively bigger. he came out at 8 lbs., 12 oz.

My midwife was right on last time also.  She guesstimated a 7-lb baby.  DD was 6lb 14 oz at 38w5d so if we had gone to 40w I'm sure she would have been right around 7 lb.
