Does measuring ahead mean you will likely go early?

  I'm definitely not an expert, but I don't think it's an indicator that you'll have the baby early.

  I think I'm just having wishful thinking! Not that I want to go EARLY-early, but you all know what I mean! : )

  I think it just means you or your baby are bigger than "average" at that point.

  I measured 2 weeks ahead this whole time and then 1 week and now back down to "on track", but I have only gained 1 lb in the last month so I am thinking that may have to do with it. lol

  I have consistently measured 2-3 weeks ahead since they started measuring but they haven't changed my EDD. The dr's said it's normal. At my last appt the doc made it seem like a little bit more of a big deal and said that she might be a big baby. The nurse said I might just have a lot of fluid. Who knows!

  Nope. DD1 measured ahead consistently and was induced at 41 +1. (She was a big baby and that was the cause of me measuring ahead)

  Nope. With DD I was measuring 3 weeks behind but had her a week early.

  I've been consistently measuring 1-2 weeks ahead.  I am going in for a growth u/s on monday to check to see if it's fluid, fat (lol) or baby

  It is possible, but its possible for anyone to go early measuring ahead or not... Either your baby is Just larger, maybe you have more fluid, or maybe your baby had an early growth spurt... Next apt you could measure right on schedule... It just depends:)

  My doctor told me I was measuring big and when they did a sono they said he was measuring 6lbs 13oz and if I keep measuring big then I would more likely to have a csec.  I just hope all is fine.

  I think it's more likely that you'll go early if you're measuring behind.  You're more likely to be induced.  As least in my case.
