My girls were all between 7 lbs 10 ozs and 8 lbs, all born in the 39th week (well, except the 8 lb-er, she was born in the 38th) before their due dates. My boy came the day the ultrasound said, which I know that I know that I KNOW was at least a week early, and he was 9 lbs 5 ozs. I think some babies just get the grow gene more than others!!

It was so frustrating because there was.no.possible.way. She was born at 39 weeks, 2 days - "earlier" than her brother and all her cousins and weighing much smaller than her cousins or brother ever have. I wasn't suprised at all when my water broke at 39 weeks, 1 day because she was really more like 40 weeks exactly and just a petite baby.

I'm going through this right now - I'm 26 weeks pregnant according to my charts, but the ultrasound has me almost 2 weeks ahead so they want to change my due date. But it'd be pretty impossible that'd I'd be off that much. I'd just rather have people focus on the fact it is his head measuring 2 weeks ahead...just like his sister's did (ie, the crazy birth with a 'stuck' baby and a c-section)!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16524794921358894589noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6378450001604002654.post-68957823018202331952014-06-05T17:57:59.393-04:002014-06-05T17:57:59.393-04:00Always go with YOUR chart, mama, not the fancy ult...Always go with YOUR chart, mama, not the fancy ultrasound.

He was born via early induction due to high blood pressure (long story, not pretty) and they announce cheerfully that he weighs 5lbs 7ozs! HUH?! No, no, I tell them, you mean 7lbs 5ozs. Nope. Then the nurse says, maybe this explains it, and holds up the biggest infant foot I've ever seen. She tells me his foot is so big, it won't fit in the box on the form she's got! It had skewed all measurements and blow up his expected weight numbers.<br />Hang in there!

So, late baby is...long and skinny (though sometimes that's just genetics), little to no vernix, and skin that is peely and cracked from little to no vernix, and they can often tell by looking at the placenta that it has started to suffer...I had this happen with my second child...I had been TTC and had very accurate charts to prove my due date, but the docs still insisted their date was right because my baby was big. When he was born (my water broke on my original due date), they still said they thought their date was right.
