Doctor appointment today...

I just got back from my doctors appointment- I am 30 weeks today and measuring 32 weeks (when I went at 27 weeks for my glucose test I was measuring 28 weeks)..I kind of asked what this meant and the doctor said they don't worry until they are ahead 3-4 weeks and I wish I had asked more about what that meant but I always feel rushed...does this possibly mean she will come a little early or that she may just be big when I deliver her?  I know it may mean nothing because of many things, but just say the measurements are correct, does anyone know what it could mean?  Or has experienced this already?

    It could mean a lot of things, or it could mean nothing. Usually if you are measuring a few weeks ahead, you'll get a growth u/s. I had one during my last pregnancy after consistently measuring ahead. I had a little more amniotic fluid than usual and a slightly larger than average baby (8 lbs. 1 oz. at birth at 40w3d, so definitely not huge). Mostly, it's the way I carry.

    I just got back from my 30w appt and am measuring at 33w again. Again, it's likely just the way I carry and a slightly bigger baby. They'll do a growth u/s again around 35-36w (which is good because she also thinks the baby is currently breech by feel, so it'll be nice to know for sure).

    Thanks!  I know there is no definite answer, but I was just kicking myself for not asking!  My little one has made herself comfy lying sideways for now- explains the painful kicks to my right side and why it feels like she is jumping on the bed/couch when I am lying on my right side!

    Last time I measured consistently 2-3 weeks ahead from 18 wks on and the growth scan said 8 lb baby was likely.  I had a 10lb baby 2 weeks early.  This time around 22 wks this lil dude started following his big brother and is doing a 2-3 weeks ahead measurement.  They are doing my growth scan on Thurs and DH and I pretty much decided whatever weight they guesstimate we're adding 2 lbs to it to keep the shock factor down LOL  Growth scans can be off by 2 pounds +/-   I also had a high end of normal level of fluid and a mature placenta which could account for DS1 coming early.  I won't know about my fluid and placenta this go around until Thurs but I'm betting on the same diagnosis.
