Question re: big u/s measurement

vhcoleman09

I keep hearing about people being told that their baby is measuring in the xx percentile. Is this based on the expected due date or is this just a general measurement based on something else? I wasn't told a percentile but was told I was measuring 4 days ahead of my EDD.

The percentile might just mean that the baby is on the bigger or smaller side, I am pretty sure it's based on mesurements of the limbs and such.

I always mesured several weeks ahead and I never went into labor early, my boys were a bit on the bigger side, that's it (bboth 8lbs)

They didn't give me percentages, but they did tell me I'm measuring a day or 2 behind based on measurements.

When they told me, I understood it to mean his overall size. Length, approx. weight, etc.

When I had my ultrasound they said I was in th 61st percentile, so my baby is a tad bit bigger than average.
