Any moms measuring ahead?

Basil27Basil27 member
in 2nd Trimester
I am almost 17weeks (on monday) and my midwife said I was measuring about a month ahead. That seems like a lot to me however she didnt seem concerned and said it could be because this is a third pregnancy and the ligaments are more stretched (also my second baby is only 11 months). So I am hoping that its just left over chubbiness from my last pregnacy? Anyone else have experience with something similar? I also had GD with baby number 2 and so far do NOT have it with this pregnancy. The midwife said she wasnt worried about a big baby this early in the pregnancy that if I was 32 weeks and measuring 36 then maybe that would be the case. I just worry could there be another reason for measuring ahead? like extra fluid or something that an US should be done for. I guess if she wasnt worried I shouldnt be but how can I help myself ;)

    Baby was measuring big on the u/s or your belly is measuring big? My baby is measuring about 1012 days ahead. A whole month is a lot to be measuring ahead. My son was measuring 4 weeks ahead but not until the end.

    My doc hasn't even measured my belly yet.  My last appt I was 22 weeks.   I'd imagine since you are not a FTM that you have some muscle memory going on there that may have allowed the uterus to expand quicker.   I'm not an expert

    At my last appointment at 24 weeks my midwife said that I was almost 6 cm (6 weeks) ahead by the exterior measurement.  She wasn't too worried because I already have a ultrasound scheduled in a few weeks to check the location of the placenta. &nbs

    Thanks ladies! I will try not to worry until there is reason....try!... I am pretty short and after three pregnancies I am just hoping I either "popped" early or its extra baby fat I never lost from the previous pregnancies.

    I am measuring ahead this pregnancy based on u/s measurements.  It's all based on head size and length of long bones.  We do IVF with ICSI so we know the precise date and time of conception.  Measuring ahead for us seems to just mean a l

    I had a doctor appointment on Monday.  I'm 24 weeks along and my doctor said I was measuring 28 weeks.  Umm, ok.  She didn't seem that concerned about it.
