Baby's weight at 35 weeks vs birth weight
Does anyone remember how much their baby weighed at 35 weeks and how much they gained in the last month? I had a sono yesterday to check my baby's weight..they were concerned with how large and high i'm carrying. They measured him at 5 lbs 9 oz. already. I figure at the least he'll be 8 lbs if he gained 1/2 lb a week for the remainder of the pregnancy. I know everyone and every baby is different but based on your experiences how much did your baby gain in the last month?

Re: Baby's weight at 35 weeks vs birth weight
I don't think my baby was normal, but...
At my 34 week sono he was measuring at 8 pounds 12 ounces and he was born at 38 weeks at 11pounds 8 ounces. I can't remember my 35 week sono. 
Sounds like you have a very healthy baby!

DS "lost" two pounds between his last sono in the morning, and his C-section birth that night....

I think DD measured about the same at 35wks. She was born at 39wks weighing 7lbs 11oz. Remember this is an ESTIMATED weight.

That was a big growth spurt he had...but that's what I thought they gained until I spoke to my doctor yesterday.
Yes he seems to be very healthy with his chubby little cheeks that he has already...lol.

Re: Baby's weight at 35 weeks vs birth weight
OK...so I guess he's not considered large at this point. They made me nervous when they scheduled the sono because they thought he was to big. Seems my baby is just fine

Re: Baby's weight at 35 weeks vs birth weight
I put very little stock in growth sonograms. When I was in the hospital in labor and they gave me a sono they said she'd be about 7lbs... she was 9.2. She definitely didn't gain 2lbs in 4 hours!

Re: Baby's weight at 35 weeks vs birth weight
I remember at my growth sono at 32 weeks my son was measuring 5lbs even. They told me that was total normal and not high (that was when I was convinced he was a boy since all my friends having girls measured in 4.5 or less at that point). He was born the end of his 37th week at 7lbs 1 oz. My first son measured about the same at 32 weeks and was the beginning of his 37th week at 7lbs 2 oz.
So the sono's were on target for me but I know plenty of people who sono measured much larger that what the baby actually did way (some well over a 1lb).

Same thing happened to me, they told my DS would be about 6 lbs and he was 9.5 lbs!

Re: Baby's weight at 35 weeks vs birth weight
I wouldn't go by that either - honestly - two days before I gave birth the sono tech was so POSTIVE that he would be between 8.5 and no bigger then 9lbs. She said she is NEVER wrong.
2 Days later - he was born at 9lbs 14ozs.
