I'm 35 weeks pregnant and the scan indicated that the baby is 6lbs/2.7 kg. Is this too much at this stage?

Thats a pretty high weight. If you go to 40 weeks that baby will likely be 9-11lbs. BUT scans can be wrong!!! With my first they said he was 7 lbs and 2 days later he was born at 8lbs 12ozs. With my 3rd, they said he was 8 lbs and he was born 2 weeks later at 6lbs 13 oz.

KayJ is right. Scans are often incorrect about a great many things. Besides, with only 5 weeks left to term, you will still be within the norm, just a little on the high side, barring any incidents such as SOD (sudden onset diabetes) or vascular issues in the fetus.

The best advice I can give you is to talk to your doctor, not other people that aren't doctors.
