I am not a doctor, but with you in history in all, It looks like your babys are just getting bigger as you have them. So yeah, your baby could be close to 10-12 pounds.I think at 35 weeks the baby weights around 5 pounds and after that s/he will gain up to a half of a pound each week. Which will be around 7 lb or so. And if your baby is measuring 5 pounds at 30 weeks than, yeah I can see why for s/he concern. But remeber that the ultrasound can be off 2 pound either way. I am too haveing a big baby, my baby at 27 weeks almost wieght 4lbs. And I was measuring 30 weeks and he was measuring 31 weeks.Now, I am 35 weeks and I am measuring 38 weeks. My dates can't be after but a week either way because of my earlier sonogram. Did you have a c section with any of your little girls? They might induce with this one, if she looking around 10 pounds at 38 weeks or so. Take care Lori 35 weeks and counting
