How many ounces or pounds can an ultrasound be off during the last 4 weeks of pregnancy?

Lbs & Oz......
This is just going off what I was told the other day but they can very a lbs up or down. I get an u/s once a week and a fetal weight every other week and I have been sick and was worried about baby not gaining.....Well she didn't seem to have gained much. And the u/s tech said not to worry that it could be as much as a lbs/week off up or down. I was 35 weeks at the time and worried because she only shows to weight 5lbs 2oz. When normally she has been gaining about a lbs a month here latley. Now i'm at 36weeks/5 days and will get another u/s next week to see her weight. How far along are you? What are they showing your baby's weight to be at?
Hope this helped!
Good luck
la donna!!

I am due april 17th. I think they have my dates wrong though. I was 1st due april 10th. My baby was 5.5lbs at 35 weeks. They say my baby is small for gestational age. I asked them to give me a length on the baby and the us tech said that he couldent because its hard due to baby being all balled up. Have they given you a length? At my ;ast doctors appt on april 3rd the tech said baby weighs around 6lbs. I had a son 12 years ago and he only weighed 6lbs 10oz at 39.5 weeks. I guess I just have little babies. Good luck to you!
