Measuring 2 weeks ahead!

I just had my 24w appt (I am just about 25w though) and she measured me at 27w. OY. She said I might just be carrying higher then most. I am praying that this is true.

Got my drink for the GTT next time. After 28w, I go every 2 weeks. EEEK

Wow. Have you previously measured on time? How about any previous ultrasounds? Hopefully you are just carrying higher!

I measured ahead too, but my doc also said there can be an error rate of +/- 3 cm (3 weeks) when just using the tape measure.  So, I am choosing to believe that

I measured ahead both times.  At my 22-week appointment I was measuring 24.  At my 26-week appointment (26w3d) I measured 30!  My OB said if my measurements go up again (ie if I'm measuring 34 at my 30week appointment) we'll schedule a growth scan to see what's up.

I like this answer! haha

 

I may have measured a little ahead but I don't remember it being a huge difference. Baby was on schedule at my a/s at 21 weeks so I think my belly is just sticking out more since it's #3

I had my 28 week appointment today and was also measuring 2 weeks ahead. My doc was somewhat concerned with it. If I continue to measure ahead I will get a growth u/s. I am actually happy about it because I am hoping for a tail end of Dec. baby.
