Check your local MCHC. Ours has DIY scales in the waiting area.

If you are after a rough weight we used to give our DD a quick weigh (fully clothed so will be diff to at MHCN) at the supermarket on the scales in the fruit and veg area we figure as they would probably need to be quite accurate and you can just quickly sit them on them - anyway just a thought?

Can you just drop into CHN when she's there and be fitted in between appts to get weighed ? I know ours does this, just sometimes you may have to wait a bit.

If you hop on your home scales, record weight, hop off and then hold bub and hop on. Take your original weight away from weight holding bubs and you would get a pretty good idea of bubs weight, but obviously not as precise as CHN.
