@noelietrex How do they know you're measuring ahead? Is it when they take the tape measure out for your uterus?
Yep. Apparently my fundus is HUGE! Also because the midwife said she could feel "baby parts" like a distinct hand, foot, spine, etc. from the outside which shouldn't have been the case. They said not to worry, but that they want to do an additional u/s after my 28 week GD screen to measure some more. All I keep thinking is that DH was 10lbs at 39weeks and I could just be screwed...
@noelietrex I'm going to keep this info in the back of my mind because I was already measuring 27 at the start of the week when my ticker change is on Friday.

Btw, Fundal height is a general tool to measure. It is not exact, and ther are a plethora of reasons for it to be 'off', including baby's position in the uterus, a full bladder, constipation...... So a women can measure a week or two ahead on day, and then measure on target a day or so later.
Maybe it's just me...but I'm a FTM and my friends have told me that the third tri sucks almost as much as the first!!!! So I'm gonna say third tri starts at 28 weeks so I have two pleasant weeks left!!!
I don't even know when the third trimester starts for me. My due date has changed twice. My next appointment is April 8th. Hopefully, the date doesn't change again so I can properly be in this party accurately!
Yes @PugsandKisses!! And growth u/s can be off too. I can't tell you how many times I have seen people freak out over big measurements, and even be induced early because of them, and then go on to have a 6-7lb baby.
ETA I was one of those freaking out after my growth u/s with my first because he was measuring a bit big and he was 7lbs7oz and 18 in.

Joining the third trimester party today!! At my last u/s they told me he's measuring a week ahead too but that they aren't changing my due date. I'm torn between wanting him to come a week early because I'm anxious and excited and I'm sure I'll be so over being pregnant, and wanting him to cook as long as possible because that's probably best for him.
Third trimester here too! Agree with @kdm06c they've told me my guy is 2+ weeks big, a week behind, who freaking knows really. We'll just wait see when he gets here. No point stressing.
Calling mine a bit late (was Saturday 2nd), but I unfortunately had a funeral this weekend and the mind was on other things.
But... Whoop! The finish line is now in sight and I can't wait to meet our bubbs! H & I have been together 17 years and I'm no spring chicken - so we are so excited to finally 'succumb' to having babies!

Yes, I know. But they can also be dead one. Both of my last two growth U/S, which each was 3 days prior to delivery was 2 Oz and 4 Oz off from birth weight.
I'm counting today as third trimester! So excited but terrified too Hoping baby keeps cooking for another 13 weeks even though I'm sure I'll be much more uncomfortable as the weather warms up.
