Measuring way ahead!

So this morning I had a growth ultrasound to see how big our LO is.  At 32 weeks he was 5 lbs so I was very anxious to see what he is now.  I'm 36 weeks 4 days and he was 7lbs 2oz.  I thought that didn't sound too bad until the end when she said that after doing all the measurements on him that he overall is measuring to be 39 weeks 6 days!!! She asked me if they were unsure of the due date and I told her yes that at my first ultrasound they said I was between 8 and 11 weeks.  I've had problems with my period my whole life so I had no clue when my last one was and it was all kind of a guessing game.  She said his head in particular was measuring at 40 weeks 3 days!! She also said his head is about as far down as it can get before actually coming out! This all came as a huge surprise and now I'm super anxious.  I have an appointment with my doctor on Monday and I'm so anxious to see what he has to say now!!!

    Speaking from recent experience u/s this late in the game can be very innacurate. U/S's in the 1st tri are more reliable with dating. I recently had 2 u/s's that were one week apart and the u/s tech from the first one did the measurements wrong and was almost 2lbs off on weight. Just something to keep in mind :)

    Oh wow!

    I've had 2 growth ultra sounds and the baby has been so far head down that it has been hard for the techs to get accurate measurements - and it's been like this since the start of April. I used to think it was because LO was going to arrive early but since it's been 7 weeks of this I figure it's just the way I'm going to finish the pregnancy.

    Are you experiencing public bone pain (kinda like getting kicked in the lady-bits every time you move)?

    Yeah for the past week I've had so much pressure and I feel like my lady parts are bruised.  My doc said sometimes you start to feel that as your cervix thins but he doesn't start doing checks until 38 weeks.

    That feeling really sucks, and not much helps. Sleeping with a pillow between your knees helps, as does avoiding things like stairs or anything that requires a wider stance. Basically, keeping your legs together is the best thing right now.
