I went to the doctor today for my 24 week check-up and when he measured my uterus he said to prepare ourselves for a big baby! At 20 weeks I measured 19" and today, at 24 weeks, I measured 27". I'm nervous that he is going to be a 10lb + baby
What are you measuring??
Re: What is your uterus measuring?
Do you mean the fundal height?
I measured 24 at 26 weeks. My doctor said that the number of weeks you are +/- 2 is normal.
I wouldn't start worrying yet. There is still a lot of time left in your pregnancy. If the doc is concerned about the baby's size, they will probably schedule another u/s.
Yes that is it, sorry he never said the term in the office so I didn't know what to call it. So I'm a little over the +2 but he didn't seem concerned, he just said that I'm measuring above average right now. Thank you for explaining
I have no idea, I never asked for the numbers but she said I was measuring "on track" which like pp said, I'm assuming is within a couple weeks.
Fundal measurements aren't super accurate (or telling), especially early on. With my first I was consistently measuring big so I did eventually have a growth scan at 36w which showed a slightly larger than average baby, but mostly just extra amniotic fluid (DS was 8 lbs. 1 oz. 3 days late FWIW).
I hope mine is just extra fluid also, last ultra sound she did say I have a lot of it.

I am almost 25 weeks and I am measuring 24. My doc said that was perfectly normal. When we did the anatomy scan, the tech said that the baby was in the 50th percentile for size. I am trying not to go crazy with eating too much crap because I am afraid she will be a big baby.
This is my first baby and I am petrified to give birth, more so than raising the LO.
