The baby's weight is to much for 32 weeks

Not necessarily... my baby was delivered at 33 weeks gestation and weighed almost 5 pounds (4.14). When she hit what would have been her real due date, she weighed a touch over 8 pounds.
I was getting regular ultrasounds and they were estimating the weight right up to the day I went into labor prematurely, and no one ever told me she was too big for her gestational age...

You're almost at the end of the pregnancy, so the weight gain will slow down for the most part. Have you been tested for diabetes? Some women develop diabetes during their pregnancy, but it clears up once you give birth. The diabetes will cause the baby to gain an excessive amount of weight if left untreated. They may end up inducing you early or performing a c-section if the baby is above 8lbs by your 40th week.

I wouldn't be alarmed. My baby was 5 lbs at 28 weeks and everything was fine. She weighed almost 9 lbs when she was born. On the other hand, my son weighed 5 lbs at 30 weeks and he only weighed a little over 6 lbs at birth. There is nothing to worry about you just have a heathly appetite and baby. Good luck

That's how much mine weighed at 32 weeks. At the 36 week ultrasound she was 7 pounds. I ended up being induced at 38 and a half weeks, and she weighed 8lbs 5oz. You're going to be fine, and have a big, fat, beautiful baby! Good luck!

I know its hard to imagine that your baby is already five pounds. I was a small girl in size when i got pregnant. I was 106lbs. I ended up getting induced two weeks before my due date for two reasons. 1) I had gained 147lbs and it was hard for me to well basically move. 2) He was estimated at 9 lbs. I had an epidural and had him naturally. After I had him and I saw my doctors face I was in pure shock. He ended up being 10lbs 3ozs and 22 1/2 inches long. That night my doc came in and said the he was the healthiest baby she ever gave birth to. You shouldn't worry about how big your baby is. I know its hard not to worry but if he/she is already 5 lbs you know your going to have a healthy baby. Be thankful that he/she is going to be healthy. Keep your head up hun....everything will be fine.

Nope, you have a healthy baby.
It's an estimate anyway, no way to tell exactly.
Sleep now, you won't have much time later.. :-)
Focus on eating well and drinking plenty of water!
I don't know if this is your first baby, but theres just one word to remember during labor
EPIDURAL
Happy pushing!
