anyone else measuring big?

So at my appt yesterday, I laid on the table for my OB to measure my fundal height and she says, "Wow your uterus is huge!" I am at 27 weeks and measuring more like 32 Indifferent

she goes on to say it could be from my fibroids, or the kid could just be large.  I'm just wondering if this is even a big deal. Did anyone else measure ahead like this, and if so, did it stay that way or did it reconcile itself?

    At my 30w4d appt, I measured 32.0cm. My baby has consistently been about 1 week ahead based on my fundal height. This afternoon is my next appt so we'll see if that's still the case!

    Often, the baby's position can greatly affect the measurement.

    I was told I was measuring 3 weeks ahead and then last week was sent for a growth u/s and everything is fine measuring right on track. I still measure ahead based on the fundal height measurement, but baby is measuring 37 weeks.

    My fundal height measures right on for the most part but my baby measures big.

    WhenI went for an u/s at 24weeks I was measuring 27 weeks. Dr. just said that I am going to have a tall little girl and she is def. above average.. lol.. Her estimated weight was 2 lbs 5 oz.

    I?m measuring about 2 weeks ahead. During the U/S I was told that there is an extra amount of fluid around the baby. I?m thinking that is why I?m measuring big. The doctor didn?t seem to surprised by the whole thing. Don?t worry most of us are measuring big

    At 34w I was measuring 37.  I was sent in for a growth u/s and found out that my baby was already estimated to be 7lbs and in the 90th percentile!   I wouldn't worry too much about it!  Some people just carry more fluid, or have bigger babies!

    I measured big but it's b/c i'm a little overweight so it made a little difference and that was the only time they measured me

    I've been measuring big, 1-2 weeks or so. My MW said part of it was just me, since I'm a big pudgy to begin with. I think it's normal for fundal height measurements to be a bit off.
