Has anyone had baby measuring bigger at around 12 weeks?

skeenan293 · April 2011

I just had my NT scan today and I am currently 11 weeks 5 days. I was surprise to hear the u/s tech say that baby was measuring at 12 weeks 6 days. Has anyone else had that happen? I am just wondering if that is a normal thing.

DS consistently measured about 1 week ahead for my whole pregnancy. They never changed my due date, but he was born 1 week "early" at 8lbs, 10 oz. Confused

My LO has been consistant w/ measuring ahead by about 4 days.

I measured 6 days ahead at my NT scan at 12w1d. I measured small at the dating ultrasound, even taking into account my late ovulation. Although I haven't seen my doctor since then, they seem to have changed my date by about a week based on when they scheduled my anatomy scan.

I was measuring about 5 days ahead last week at 10 1/2 weeks. My OB said they worry a bit when babies measure smaller (though things can still be fine there as well), but are fine when baby is bigger at this stage.

There is no question about my dd and my ticker is correct. Both my RE and OB get the same measurements, right to the day. The NT scan, however, measured about 5 days ahead for some reason.

My due date was moved up 6 days because of measuring ahead at 6 weeks, which was accurate for when I knew I ovulated. Even with my adjusted due date, the baby still measured 6 days ahead at the NT scan.

My baby measured 13 weeks at my 12 wk 2 day ultrasound too. But I read babies start growing at their own pace about now, and my dr didn't seem concerned.

i measured 6 days ahead at my NT scan with baby #2 and with DD she measured ahead the entire pregnancy and i had her 2 weeks early.

This baby measured about a week ahead at the NT scan. They've adjusted my EDD accordingly. H was worried, but the doctor said they only worry if the baby is measuring small, not if they're measuring ahead.

I was supposed to be 12w3d at my NT scan and baby was measuring 8 days ahead at 13w4d.

With DS, I was always measuring 1-2 weeks ahead. At 36 weeks I had to have another ultrasound to check on his size. At that point he was weighing in at 7lbs 4oz with 4 weeks left in my pregnancy. He was born at 39 weeks at 8 lbs. I don't really know how accurate they were- they kept saying he was going to be huge, yet 8lbs is only in the 56 percentile.

Thank you guys for the information. I was just a little concern because I am diabetic this time around.

That happened to me too - I have always been either right on track or a day or two behind. At my NT scan, I was 6 days ahead. My doctor said she wasn't going to adjust my EDD from it though.
