How much will my baby weigh at 40 weeks?

Question

I had an u/s done at 36w5d and I was given 7lbs. 14 oz. I know u/s are not 100% accurate but what can i expect?

Answer 1

I'd bet 7-9 pounds. There really is no exact way to tell until birth. A doctor does give you a very educated guess.

Answer 2

I would say at least nine pounds. My sons were large babies, the smallest being nine pounds and he was 2 weeks early.

The rule of thumb is that they gain one pound per week during the last four weeks (36-40). If that were the case you baby would be 11 pounds but I seriously doubt that. The only way this would even be possible is if you had gestational diabetes.

I would count on at least 9 pounds though!! Good luck!! Congratulations!!

Answer 3

Most babys weigh about 7lbs to 7 and a half. My daughter however over weighed that and weighed 9lbs 3oz at birth.....If your baby weighed 7lbs 14oz at 36 weeks then your baby will probably weigh closer to 8lbs maybe a few oz over 8lbs.

Answer 4

you've probable already seen the midwife, so i'm hoping you acquire the reassurance you've been after--surely, perchance you've already had the toddler! (wish so--those very previous couple of days will be quite annoying!) If there is any reason for concern about exertions no longer progressing, your midwife will recommend you. so long because the toddler is doing properly, being some days over time period isn't in various of circumstances a reason to bring about exertions. If there is any question about the toddler being oversize (it appears like you're quite small), then your midwife can inform you what concepts you've. It appears like this one will be purely as huge because the others. reliable luck and/or congratulations!

Answer 5

you could have an 8 almost 9 pound baby.
With my second son, doctor told me he was going to be a 10lb. baby. He was 2 weeks early and weighed 8lbs 3oz.

Answer 6

they are not accurate as you know but if it is on target u would expect around 8 and a half pounds if you don't go over but don't worry to much it will hurt no matter what size it is it does not make that much difference in the end but you will have a healthy size baby

Answer 7

My sister was told that her baby was small, and he ended up weighing 9 lbs. Her second child she was told it would be huge and she was only 6.9 lb. So it very hard to tell.

Answer 8

it all really depends on how well you feed yourself and that you don't eat any bad foods or smoke. But it should be 7lbs. and 10 oz. that's mostly common on healthy babies.

Answer 9

if you are already that far along and since this is not accurate it will probably be right around the 7 14. congrats

Answer 10

probably about 8 lbs...maybe just a tad over 8, but nothing more than that
