Type 1 diabetes - baby measuring 15 days ahead

(posted on 3rd tri board also)

So... I'm a type 1 diabetic, and have monthly ultrasounds to measure growth. In the past, the baby has measured thusly:

18w1d: 3 days ahead
22w0d: 4 days ahead
25w5d: 4 days ahead
29w5d (Today): 15 days ahead

HOLY CRAP! Could the technician just be really off her measurements? What is this likely going to mean about my delivery date? Will they move it up? What has been your experience when measuring 2 weeks or more ahead?

TIA.

    Not ALL babies tend to be bigger.  My DS was 6 lbs 9 oz at birth (37.5 weeks).

    And mine was 4 lbs 13 oz at 36 weeks exactly. Although this baby is turning out bigger than my first, and my numbers are alot better this time around!
