Oh & I measured about a week ahead on my 20 week scan too
Not aquriate messurements.
They are almost always off by two or more pounds in either direction. Its not often they get the weight right.
I asked my ob not to even try to guess how big my baby was.
They told my sister she was going to have and 8or 9 lb baby. Her girl was barely 6lbs when born.
Same thing happend to my friend
LOL @Littlefae happens to me daily.
Thanks all I just am nervous to push out a monster!
I worked for a news paper that had started in 1872 and they had every single arcive there so I was reading news paper from then and 9/10 pound babies were actually the average weight. I noticed babies born 7 pounds or less were the ones who typically didn't survive their first year.
We didn't start having "small" babies until the 50s when woman were suddenly supposed to be very tiny, stay tiny, and then have tiny babies because men wanted to come home to skinny wives.
Where as when the big babies were being born it was during a time when woman worked very hard, there was no fast foods or preservatives and in the paper they would call them healthy. The only time they mentioned a baby being large was when a woman has a 12 lb baby boy.
But I understand being nervous, its normal too be so. Just continue to exersize, long walks and squats, and eat healthy and try to relax... though I've been there so I know how hard that is lol
Good luck!
And to the 9lb baby born 4 weeks early, they were probably off on the day of conception by a couple of weeks.
