measuring 4 weeks ahead?

I went for my monthly check up today (24 weeks) and I've gained 10 pounds which I know is no good, although I really had only gained a couple pounds before that. But then my doctor measured my uterus (this was the first time he did it) and he said I'm 28 cm which corresponds to 28 weeks, when I'm only 24 weeks. I have zero doubt that I'm 24 weeks and recent ultrasounds back me up, so why else would my measurements be so far off?? He said it's nothing to worry about and they'll keep an eye out but I'm a little concerned. What does that mean? Big baby or early delivery? Has this happened to anyone else? Oh and he asked if i had to pee because I guess that would affect it, but I didn't. Thanks!

    IMO: You should probably go by your baby's ultrasound measurements which are more accurate.

    Is this your first baby? If not, the uterus can measure larger with subsequent pregnancies.  i wouldn't worry about it. There are many factors that can affect your uterine measurements.  like legalpawn said...check out that website. very imformative!

    Try not to worry about it.  They can be slightly inaccurate due to baby's position and things like that.  It could something that simple or you could have a normal sized baby but excess amniotic fluid.  There are SO many things it could be!

    At my last appointment I was 22w, but measuring 25cm.  My OB said it's no big deal, they expect you to measure +/- 2-3weeks.  He said that it's only a concern if you're consistently measuring much smaller than you should.
