Default Re: Growth and size check-up - 29 weeks

The general rule of thumb (according to my old OB) is that you take the weight at 30 weeks and double it to come up with the weight at 40 weeks. That would put my little girl at between 7 and 7.5 lbs at birth - that rule worked perfectly with Ava as well....
OOH I like that rule! Let's hope that is the way it is. I would be so thrilled for another 7 1/2 pounder - give or take a few ounces. My Ava was 7# 10oz and she was born 2 weeks before my LMP due date and 1 week prior to her measurement due date.
