So according to the scales at the hospital I weigh 8kg less than I do on the scales at home. How is this possible??

    Because all scales are different.

    Your scale at home might not be calibrated correctly; It might need leveling; it might need batteries; you weighed at different times of day; weighed after eating; different day altogether; different clothes and shoes...

    Ok... and were you naked and was it first thing in the morning on the hospital scales, like (presumably) when you weigh yourself at home?
