Measuring ahead Update

SusieQ1982

At my 28 week appointment, my doctor seemed a little surprised I was measuring ahead. I should really have asked how far ahead because I saw he was a little concerned but at the moment it slipped my mind. I had been measuring on track until then.

Today I went in for my next appointment to be measured and he said that was better after taking my measurements. I asked if I was back on track and he told me no, I was still a couple of weeks ahead.

Holy smokes- we must have caught the baby in one heck of a growth spurt if he's relieved I'm only a couple of weeks ahead now! I'm kind of glad I didn't ask for the number!

Measurements can be off- each uterus grows at different rates and women carry differently. I wouldn't sweat it. My youngest daughter consistently measured 2 weeks ahead, even after changing her due date.

Ya, I measured ahead with my first too. At 28 weeks I measured for 32 weeks. It slowly caught up even though I gained 25 lbs in the last 10 weeks. DS was 8lbs, 6oz at birth. Not unusually large.

BTW, I have that same outfit. I'm wearing it in my profile pic too. Although it's hard to tell.

I've been measuring 7 weeks ahead for the last 8-10 weeks. The growth u/s says it's only about 4 days ahead. People just measure differently, it's just an average, so don't overly stress.
