My Appointment today - Yikes!

CantWait wrote: Well the good news is, I'm still closed up like Fort Knox, no dilation which means I can leave at 36 weeks instead of 35 weeks.

Now for the YIKES of it.

Before my doctor took my fundal measurement he said "BIG" Gee thanks.
After taking it, he said "Good"
Than he proceeded to check MIa via ultrasound, and when he was finished, he said that she is measuring at around 4kg. For those that don't know the conversion, 4kg = 8.8 lbs. Right now at 34 weeks, with 6 weeks still left to go, Mia is weighing in at 8 lbs, AGAIN





The good of it, and what I don't understand I haven't gained a single lb since the 7 weeks since I last got weighed, as a matter a fact, I lost 1kg (2.2 lbs). How is that even possible.

youngmomofone replied: wow! Idk how it's possible. Did he say anything about taking her a little early? Even if they were off by a pound, that's still a big girl for 34 weeks

ZandersMama replied: ouch.....sometimes the measurements are off though

luvbug00 replied: she's hitting up the mommy banquet lol! I bet she's gonna have the most adorable cheeks!

moped replied: YIKES, BUT they told me Laila was going to be well over 10 lbs, and she wasnt even 8 lbs, so the U/S can be off.

Either way she will be here before you know it!

mom21kid2dogs replied: I lost 3 lbs on bedrest~it does happen.

They were so wrong about O's weight. They said she was over 8lbs @ 35 weeks. She came out as 7lb 4oz @ 39 weeks. Try not to stress about it. There can be alot of leeway between how they measure and what they weigh.

Your getting pretty darn close! How exciting!!!

CantWait replied:
Well I won't be delivering in Russia, so it wouldn't really be up to my current OB. I guess my first appointment back in Canada should be quite interesting.

boyohboyohboy replied: marie, all my U/S were wrong..they always told me that my kids were large over 9lbs and my largest was 8..
heres to a nice size baby!

A&A'smommy replied: WOW I can't believe she is almost here!! Will the family go back with you?
They were right on with Alyssa but my friend they told her, her baby was going to be 8lbs and she was barely 6

grapfruit replied: My dr said mothers intuition is a better gauge for size. So what do YOU think?

mummy2girls replied: i know how you feel girl. Breanna was 10lb 7 oz... yes a whopper baby...

CantWait replied:
No unfortunately the boys would miss school and I'll be there too long. I'll be waiting at least a month to get her VISA to come to Russia.

CantWait replied:
I don't own this.

I'm guessing she's 6 right now though.
