I dont remember the specific weight estimate but it was 8+, he was born at 7.7. He regularly was in the 50% for all measurements and was smaller than that out of utero

The baby weight estimates are highly inaccurate! 1 hour before I went into labor, I was told the baby weighs approx. 7.5 lbs based on a ultrasound. My baby weighed 9 lbs 9 oz and was born by c-section after being in labor for 48 hours. Had I known she was so big, I would have opted for the c-section much sooner! A word of advise: if you are petite (short) and the father of the baby is very tall -- you may have a very big baby. I'm 5'2" and my husband 6'6". My midwife had told me that my body will only produce the size baby that my body can handle. Wrong! My body barely handled the 9.9 lbs 22.5" long baby. All was OK in the end though. She is a beautiful and healthy little toddler now.

My midwife felt my belly at my 39 week appt and said he was 7 lbs, maybe 7.5. He was born 3 days later at exactly 7 lbs.

Toddler X was pretty much exactly what the doc said he would be. Only off by 1oz.

@luckypenny: same thing happened to me! Projected to be around 7.5 to 8 lbs when I was 39 weeks, and at 41w6d when he was born, he was 6lb11oz. Extra cooking needed

@shopaholic: We were told today that she is measuring right at 6 pounds right now, and that by the time they are ready to induce in 3 weeks, she'll have added another pound and a half. This may be off by up to a full pound, so we're predicting a little girl weighing between 7 1/2 to 8 1/2 pounds.

yup they said charlie was 8 lbs at my last appt before giving birth, and he was 8 lbs 6oz. Olive came early so we didn't have an estimate.
