My doctor estimated over 8 lbs at my last ultrasound, and I didn't believe her because everyone I knew had a baby overestimated by like a pound.
But she was right! Charlie was indeed 8 lbs 6 oz.
How accurate was your doctor?
-
Right on. Off by an ounce the first time, three ounces for my second.
-
They were about 10 ounces over what he was.
-
Way off.....with my second they (4 different doctors) all said between 7-8 lbs, definitely under 8. Boy were they shocked when baby was just under 9.5 lbs!
-
First one she was way off (she estimated 2 pounds under what she was, she was almost 9 pounds, she guessed 7) and she was spot on for #2.
-
Exactly correct! Over 10 pounds!
-
Underestimated, but only at a (very quick) U/S when I was in labor. They estimated 7'4, and he was 8'12! They are currently projecting 7'5 for this one, but we're taking it with a grain of salt
-
Awful. They said DD was 9 1/2 lbs. She was 7 lbs 2 oz when she was born.
-
They guessed average (7.5 pounds), but I didn't have a late growth ultrasound. He turned out to be 6 pounds, 2 ounces.
-
They estimated DDs weight by ultrasound at 7 lbs 12 oz.
She was 7 lbs 13 iz!
-
My midwife guessed about nine pounds by feel, not u/s and DD was nine pounds even.

There was a thread on this posted today: http://boards.hellobee.com/topic/estimated-vs-actual-birth-weight

My OB refuses to even estimate because he said that they are so inaccurate. He said it is basically just a random guess.
-
My doctor didn't estimate. The ultrasound tech did.
-
Pretty badly underestimated. We were told she was 4lb a week before she was born. She came out 5lb7oz. You should have a poll!
-
They estimated 7.5 when I was in the hospital in labor, and she was 8 even. So, pretty close.
-
Very close! They estimated 8 lbs, and my LO was 8 lbs 2.5 oz born at 39+6
-
Mine said somewhere around 7 - 8 lbs, and DS was 6 lbs 8 oz..
-
During the last ultrasound, it was estimated that my son was almost 8lbs. He was born the next week at 6lbs 5 ounces.
-
They were totally wrong! Guessed over 8 lbs and LO was 6 lbs 10 oz.
-
Based on scan/feel in the range of 9-9.5, she was 8lb 14oz.
