Uterus measuring large. Multiples?

madge32085

I went to the obgyn today for my first prenatal visit. I am pregnant with my second child, due in September. When the midwife gave me my internal exam she said she thought that my uterus was measuring large for the date I gave her for the first day of my last period. Has anyone ever experienced this? Could I be pregnant with multiples? I'm positive that I got my period the month prior and I know the exact days that we tried to conceive. What else could this mean? My first baby was 9lb 10oz. Could this be reason? Any mothers with twins ever measure large early on in their pregnancy?

Are they scheduling an ultrasound?

The only way to know about multiples is an ultrasound.

What did your doctor say?

So she "thought" you were measuring large which to me translates to you might be, not that you are.
Based on the first day of your LMP has little to do with when you actually ovulated. You could be measuring right on time.
You will not know until you have an ultrasound.

Only an ultrasound will tell you that. Hopefully you are scheduled for one soon.

I measured large.  It was just some extra fluid.   My doctor was not at all concerned.

I feel like we just went over this in your other discussion. " Uterus measuring large. Multiples? "

??

Eta: this was supposed to be on the "multiples" post but I got confused because they're the same freaking thing.

I lied you're totes having multiples! Congrats! Buy two (maybe 3) of everything!!!!!!!!!!!!

Not necessarily.  I was measuring large with my first, and the doctor did an ultrasound to check for multiples.   The ultrasound showed I had a fibroid, however.

It's a possibility, but not because of your size, jeez. Let me ask you this, who is your baby daddy, is it Edward Cullens? That could also explain you measuring large.
