Big baby?

Anyone else worried they’re going to have a big baby?? I’m 5ft 1 and pre-pregnancy weight 46kg so always been quite small. I had a growth scan today at 30 weeks (as a result of reduced movement). Baby is fine, but her estimated weight currently is 3lbs 6oz. No one has said she’s big or chunky, but I feel like that’s quite heavy at this stage??

I’m also worried about this! I’m 4ft 11 and 31 weeks, baby was 3lb 4oz 2 weeks ago🥲 they’ve predicted ‘7lb’ for delivery, everyone keeps saying how huge I look as well! Which doesn’t help with the anxiety 🤣 on my feral growth chart my bump was 35cm last week which is big, my midwife has said she will refer me for a growth scan when I’m 34 weeks! I’ve been told big babies are easier to give birth to🤷🏽‍♀️ but we’ll have to see 🤣 xxx

That’s pretty small to normal I believe I was 3lb7 at my 30 week scan and I’m on the 19th percentile. With my first they told me I was having a big baby as at 34 weeks I was estimated 6lb already, she came out 6lb12 at 40+4 😅 so unless they say anything I honestly wouldn’t worry

I’m 29 weeks and baby boy is measuring 3lb 10 🫠 I’m struggling to even walk at this stage 😂😂😂😂

I’m worried now as I have been diagnosed with GD and that can apparently be linked with bigger babies and I really don’t want to have to be induced! xx

My boy was 3lb2 at 28 weeks 🤦‍♀️ I’m 5ft1 too but on the heavy side, I’ve said to my partner once this baby is born I’m losing weight because this extra weight is a struggle 😂

I had a growth scan at 31 weeks & was told baby was approx 4lbs 11 already 🙈 been told it may be safer for me to have a c section at 38/39 weeks! Xx

my eldest was estimated 4lbs 5oz at 30 weeks and he was 8lbs born
