Measuring 2 weeks ahead! AH!

in 3rd Trimester

Had my appt. today.  My baby boy is measuring 2 weeks ahead! So he is supposed be 31 weeks and is measuring 33 weeks.  Anyone else experience this???

 Maybe that would explain how huge I am?

 They also took blood again :(  She is think I may be starting Gestational Diabiates even though I passed my test.

They put me on the GD diet of 1800 calories and said I have to stay on it even if I don't have GD to slow the my baby's growth down.

I am so sad.  No more chocolate, no more Starbucks. My life is over....Crying  LOL.

    I was measuring ahead around the same time as you, but it eventually went back to normal. I am now measuring 37 weeks...

    They want to SLOW your baby's growth down?

    I've been measuring 2 weeks ahead - but my doctor isn't concerned. She'd rather him be ahead than behind.  Plus.... measurements aren't an exact science.  It's really all averages!

    I'm actually measuring over 3 weeks ahead...and have been since 20 weeks.  Don't freak out.  Measurements aren't always accurate.

    Was this on u/s or fundal height measurement? My doc said as long as fundal height is within 2 weeks it's no big deal.

    I had a growth ultrasound this morning.

    Amniotic fluid is at the high end of the normal range. His head is at 34.5ish weeks, legs/arms/belly is around 33 weeks and I'll be 32 weeks tomorrow. I don't have GD. Even with all of that, they told me all was fine. There is still time for him to slow down and or equal out.

    Fundal measurement....I have my growth U/S in two weeks so I guess that will be the real determining factor.


    Still sucks though- they cut all my sugar out ... Angry

    My baby was measuring two weeks ahead at 24 weeks, but I had another ultrasound at 36 weeks and he/she was measuring right on track. I wouldn't stress about it.

    I was measuring 3 weeks ahead.  Growth u/s at 35 weeks showed that DS was a little over 7lbs.  I was induced at 38 weeks due to high BP and pre-e. 

    DS was 9lbs 5oz and 21.5in at 38 weeks.  All I can say is- thank gawd they induced.

    I really don't get the whole measuring thing. I started out measuring 2 weeks behind and ended up being 4 wks behind by the time I delivered. Owen was still 7lbs 10 oz (average size) and they were telling me he was going to be on the smaller side. I also was not expecting a baby that big since I am petite....I didn't believe them when they told me how much he weighed!
