weight measurements women

Muscle is your friend... however, make sure your strength training (weight lifting) is utilizing low weight and high repetitions... you most likely do not want to bulk up.

The app itself gives you an estimated baby weight range. As long as you measure well, your baby should be in the ranges given. Several sites will also give you a week to week range. You will never be able to tell your child's true weight until you have them, this can be an issue for some women as the bigger the baby, the harder labor is.

i was at first worried a little but like they all said, i think its normal...i havent gained much weight in the last 4 weeks, only 3lbs so things must be good, you are probably fine...welcome back!

OK GIRLS, I'm 28 weeks pregnant which im guessing makes me 7 months?! with my first child and I'm on the thick side I started off at 185 lbs and now weigh 207 and I don't have a baby bump yet. Is that normal? Some days my stomach can be flat and some days a have a LITTLE bump. But I'm curious if that's normal for being 28 weeks. When I lay on my back or side I can feel my son move but if I'm walking or standing doing something I don't even feel pregnan at all.

Im 39 weeks and ultrasound was done to see how big baby is, due to my first child being over 8lbs. The femur measured 68mm and humerus 60mm. Weighing in at 6lbs 9 oz. just worries me because the measurements show below the 10th percentile. I am 5'4 and dad 5'10, may just be genetics.. ? Dr says he's just short legged, he's not said he was worried. I had downs testing done early on and everything is negative. Any one else know anything about this?

I was 30 weeks 6 days and my baby was measuring 35 weeks. They estimated his weight at 5lbs 7 oz. I'm very nervous of having a big baby...but my doctor said the ultrasound could be off. He isn't worried. My belly was measuring 34 weeks though. I'm 32 weeks 5 days today.

4 128lbs but I am now only 26weeks i weigh 136lbs and everyone keeps telling me I am HUGE that my babygirl is gonna be really big but all my measurements are right on target so im a little confused if my measurements are right how could I have a really big baby? Anyone know?

Thanks for the suggestion. We've added measurements for the chest, arm, calf, and thigh to the weight tracker.

It would be helpful not only to track weight but to have the option of tracking measurements. My weight has dropped significantly but I'm increasingly aware that I need to focus more on losing fat and building muscle. Maybe you could have a way of tracking body measurements and have a rough calculation of bodyfat percentage based on weight and measurements? (not entirely accurate, but better than nothing, certainly.

Im 39+5 and I havent had an ultrasound since I was 20 weeks so no clue on weight.

I was thinking the same thing too, but I think it's just taking about the weight.

It would be nice if you could add some more measurements to the weight tracker such as bust, arm, thigh, calf. To keep track of all progress being made.

Did they actually measure baby through ultrasound or the measurements of your stomach (fundal height)?

Thanks guys for the comments I have one last sono on Jan 7th so see her final weight Dr still wants to induce me at 37-38 weeks because he says going full term with GD is dangerous I'm a little confused to how they get a weight by measurements but Dr is concerned which makes me worried I'm still hoping for a vaginal birth these stories give me hope even if she is 10lbs (hope she not)

the total weight of the thyroid is approximately 20 - 25 grams; the thyroid is usually larger in women than men.

At 31 weeks my daughter was weighing 4 lbs 1/3 oz. But that was using belly measurements. I've read that any ultrasound measurements or belly measurements are never accurate and I'd always off by some change!

What she said ^^^ but u could just be one of those tape of pregnant women the ones that either gain weight at the end of their pregnancy or the ones that don't gain weight at all I just going to wait other places

Could just be a big baby who knows..

It could be that you have put on muscle mass from working out, muscle weighs more than fat so that could be why you suddenly weigh 3lb more. Did you take base line body measurements? If so doing a comparison to them could tell you if you have lost weight/gained muscle.

Normally they go by your u/s and not your tummy measurements b/c most women just carry differently. On your next appointment confirm with your OB if he plans to induce at 37wks and if so which week is he officially counting you at.

Many times during pregnancy women pay much closer attention to how they are eating, and make an effort to eat better and get more exercise. On a woman who had a little extra weight before pregnancy, this can balance out the weight gain from things like blood, breast tissue, placenta and baby. If not pregnant, weight loss would occur, but with the weight that's normal to add during pregnancy it can even out.

I have heard a lot about women losing weight the first trimester. I think its pretty normal to either not gain anything or lose in that time frame. I bet all is just fine with those twins!! But if concerned, you should always let your OB know. Best of luck to you, and wishing you a healthy 24 remaining weeks!!

I workout 4 times a week swimming or eliptical and/or use weight machines. My plus is always on the low side 40 to 50 bpm andblood pressure is average 120-130 80-88. I take Lipator and do have a factor V Liden blood condition but have never had a clot. My question is: Should I push for surgery to fix the dilation? It has been a year since this scan and the thoracic aorta is at 4.0 per recent echo.

I am not sure, she just was able to tell me??? I know other women have found out the weight here though. I read your post about waiting to find out what the sex is. My husband video taped the u/s and zoomed in and knew what it was easliy by looking at it even before she told us. The cord was in the way in the begining, but as soon as it moved we saw! Did you have to avoid looking?

I'm 31 weeks along with my first baby and my belly measurements are 31cm. My midwife tells me that'd spot on but I'm sick of people telling me I'm small and I dont look like I have nine weeks left. Anyone else all baby and get people commenting on a daily basis that your small?

Um 32 weeks and my baby is measuring 30 weeks is that bad?
