How far ahead did you measure?

StarLightStar22 · June 2011

I am just curious! And pretty sure this may have been asked before but Im having trouble searching on my phone. I went to the doctor today and measured almost 10 weeks ahead! My weight gain and everything is on track but I have normally only measured like 4-6 weeks ahead!! He said it was normal but wow was I surprised!

I think I was consistently 6 weeks ahead every time I was measured, but they didn't really measure me that way toward the end. Once I was hospitalized, they didn't really seem to care anymore.

Near the end I was measuring 9 to 10 weeks ahead.

i was always about 6-8w ahead... but keep in mind- the position of the babies can vary the measurment any given moment.... it's far from an accurate science.

Last week I was only 2 weeks ahead (28 weeks, measuring 30). The babies were in the 40th and 60th percentiles at the growth scan this week so their position definitely could have affected the measurement.

At 32w last week, I measured 40w. Everyone is different, so don't worry about measuring a certain amount. It's all on how babies are positioned, etc.

at 19wk3d I measured 26wks the OB said it was normal for twins, a week prior my twins were 11oz each also.

My OB never believed in measuring- it can really vary from week to week.

My OB only measured me once at 18 weeks and I measured 22 weeks.

I have been between 8-10 weeks ahead for the last 4 weeks or so!

At 16 weeks, I measured 4 weeks ahead. At 20 weeks, I measured 8 weeks ahead. From 23 weeks on, I measured 10 weeks ahead except for one appt where I measured 12 weeks ahead bc of the babies' placement. I was back at 10 weeks ahead at the following appt. I delivered at 37w2d and was measuring at 47 weeks at my appt a few days earlier.

This was me exactly at my 32 week appt I was measuring 40. I think that was the last time my OB measured me. I would love to know what I was measuring when I had my LOs at 35w4d because I was def got much bigger in those 3.5 weeks!
