Did any of you deal with this when you were pregnant?

Hi mommas,
Maybe it's weird to post this here but you all know how I feel about my new BMB and I wanted some insight. At this weeks appointment my OBGYN said I'm measuring two weeks ahead. Based on my original due date, I am 35 weeks pregnant but measuring at 37. I asked the DR if that meant I should expect the baby early she said it just depends. She said that I could have him soon, or that some women measure ahead and still go past their due dates. I have an ultrasound scheduled for the week after next but was just curious if any of you experienced this and how it turned out? Thanks!

DD always measured at least a week ahead and she was born a week early. But she dwas also really cramped in there because she was over 20 inches and I'm 5'2" witha short torso. It took a week after she was born before her legs didn't immediately spring back up into fetal position when you tried to stretch them out! I think it's a combination of baby's size and how much space they have -- if you're taller, there's more room for them to grow so it could still be possible to go late.

DD measured ahead and was nearly 2 weeks late.

She was also a 10lb baby though lol.

I measured ahead for my middle and he was the one that went the farthest past dd. all my kids were 21 inches and I'm 5'2"

thanks ladies, DH is 6'4" and I'm 5'8" so DD has always been in the 95% height wise....The dr doesn't think Garrett is big weight wise though. @prettygirlfromphilly- that is pretty much what I said to my husband, I think they're just educated guesses. LOL
