If you measured big during your pregnancy

Brewster · January 2009

Did you deliver early?

I am measuring 28 weeks and 26.5 weeks. My OB said that was still on the high end of normal.

I consistently measured 2 weeks ahead from about 32 weeks with DS #1. He was 5 days late.

I had a c-section with #2.

I've been measuring about 4 weeks ahead most of this pregnancy and am about a week away from my due date. I measured about the same amount ahead with DD and she was 2 days overdue - but she was 9lbs 12oz and my OB thinks this one will be just as big, if not bigger.

I don't remember what the difference was with #1 but I was measuring at least 2 weeks ahead. At 40 weeks they induced me because of his size but I think he would have stayed forever if we let him. He was born after 10 hours of drug free hard labor by c-section at almost 9lbs. As my midwife pulled his shoulders out (we didn't know the sex) she said I hope this is a boy or else it's going to a little girl built like a line backer.

This time I am measuring 4 weeks ahead and in my doctor's words "You're making another HEALTHY (a.k.a. fat) baby." but this one is already scheduled for a section because if the last one got stuck this one will definately get stuck.

I was measuring up to roughly 3 weeks ahead with #2, and they even had me do a couple of extra ultrasounds to be sure there wasn't a problem. I was scheduled for a c-sec at 39 weeks, and I didn't go into labor before then. DD was 7 lbs 5 oz...not exactly huge. lol

Nope, I was 2 weeks overdue.

I measured ahead with both, so much so that they were always giving me u/s and rechecking for GD, etc.

I never went into labor, had c/s with both after my due date (2weeks after with my son)

Probably not what you wanted to hear, right/?

No. With DS I measured ahead the whole time. I had to be induced. He weighed 7lb9oz.

At around 32 weeks I started measuring 2 weeks ahead...by 34 weeks I was measuring 4 weeks ahead..by 36 weeks I was measuring 6 weeks ahead. The induced me at 38 weeks because DS1 was 10lbs.

DS2 I measured the same ahead, but he was only 9lbs. I was induced due to size with him too because of DS1, they were afriad he was bigger than he was measuring.

I measured 2 weeks ahead and at one point three weeks ahead. I had him three weeks early when my water broke on its own. I guess I'm the minority though!
