I was told today that my baby is already
4.5 lbs. I am 31 weeks pregnant. Does
anyone know if that is big for a baby at
that age. And how much more will she gain
in the next 10 weeks?

That is an average wieght for this point
in time. Your baby will be gaining all
her weihgt now towards the end. You
should know that that is an estimated
weight, its not 100%. If your lucky your
baby will probably gain about 3 1/2 to 4
lbs.
Good luck, have a healthy and happpy baby.

The doc told me that my baby weighs about
2 1/2 pounds and I am 26 weeks so that
sounds about right to me. Don't worry
what's the chance of having a 13 pound
baby anyway.

A friend of mine just had a ultra sound
and her doc told her the baby's weight was
high for the age it is and her doc won't
tell her why .She asked if she should be
concerned and the doc just told her that
she would tell her more in Oct when she
goes back for another ultra sound.She is 5
months and she has not felt any movement.
What does this mean? thanks.

racecar 555: It may mean absolutely
nothing....is this your friend's first
baby????
If it is, I can tell you that I didn't
feel any movements until about the 5 or
6th month, and it was my first.
They say that with the first baby, you
really don't feel anything much until
quite later on..because basically you
don't know what to look for...because
you've never felt it before...alot of
times a little 'flutter' or wave you may
not even feel, or you may think is gas, or
your tummy rumbling..etcetc..
And about being a big baby...I will tell
you that u/s do NOT give a very accurate
estimate of weight.
I was told at 30 weeks that my baby was at
4lbs, then at the later u/s I was told he
was 8 lbs...I was getting freaked out
because for me..that was a big baby....
Do you know what he turned out to be on
delivery?
6 lbs. 11 oz....yes...they were 2 lbs.
over what the weight really was...
So I don't give any thought to weight when
someone tells me from a u/s.
Also, has your friend been checked for
Gestational Diabetes?
Probably nothing is wrong...but if she is
overly worried and all consumed with this,
then maybe she should call her ob and talk
about it...
Susie.
