I have been reading alot on the pregnancy weekly topics and I am 21 weeks....according to the "studies" my baby should be 10 ounces right now. But last month I went to the doctor for an ultrasound and they said my baby boy was already 10 ounces! Does this mean he is growing fast and will probably be a big baby?

you know with this kind of stuff no matter what anyone tells you or you research it always will be what you least expected and a shock compared to what you were thinking so really dont even waste your energy trying to figure it out but whatever happens it will be perfect and ok. If you concerned if its a big baby because of the pain dont worry ok I know easier said than done right well look at it this way your body usually (usually) doesnt produce anything that you cant handle or drugs wont fix, and if it does the dr's will notice this and try to remove the baby or enduce labor while you can still deliver size wise so essentially again everything will be just beautiful it always is with babys goodluck Kim

don't stress it, its growing good, ultrasounds are notorious for estimating weight wrong. so many stories of mom being induced or c section done because of a 10 lb+ baby (according to the scan) yet baby is only 7-8 lbs when they get it out. i've never heard of a real to big baby, even my tiny 110 lb prepregnancy friend that jsut delivered an 11 lb 6 oz boy.
some women say their baby was to big, but more often than not it was the doc was to impatiant to give moms body a chance to deliver

Usually the doctors can only estimate how far along the baby is, and it is only with exact measurements that the baby's true "age" can be somewhat determined...even then they can be off by two weeks, either 2 weeks behind or 2 weeks ahead. It might be a big baby, but it doesn't necessarily mean that he/she will be big his entire life. My oldest sister is only 4'11" and had her last baby 8 years ago. The baby was 20.5" and weighed 8 lbs 2oz! Now she's my teeny tiny little niece.

well it all depends on how much do u eat and if you smoke. People who dont smoke tend to have bigger babys and it also depends on wiether you have diabeities if you do then you may have a large baby... I have 8pounds 12 ounces and I didnt smoke and almost had pregnacy diabeities

you never really know until you get closer to your due date. Sometimes babies grow faster early on or sometimes they start off smalle but get bigger near the end of pregnancy. I would worry to much about it...talk to your doctor see what he/she says. Good luck hun!

No most of the ones that are big in the beginning slow down toward the end.

It's possible, but it's nothing to fret over. It's God's creation and doing... Relax, and just do your part in staying healthy and safe... And, please do not start starving yourself and the baby.
