Interesting appointment

in 3rd Trimester
So at my appointment today I had to do my 1 hour test, there was protein in my urine and my bp was high, along with the swelling and the vision problems the doctor was not too happy, so they are doing blood work. Also I was measured for the first time and am measuring 31 weeks....way big...I am a little worried, the doctor has me going in for a growth u/s in a few weeks....how off can the external measurments be? Anyone have a similar experience? On a good note his hr was 150 and the doctor said he sounds fantastic...so thats something....

    I think there's a pretty big range for normal measurements. I go in next week for a growth u/s, but because I'm 2 weeks behind. I'm not too concerned since everyone was SHOCKED that DD was 8 pounds at birth. It seemed like there was no way a baby that big came out of my belly, but my body just carried her weight well. Good luck!

    I remember reading that external measurements can be off based on how the baby is sitting in there. I don't know how off would be considered normal, but just wait and see at the ultrasound! No need to worry til then

    I was measuring 4 1/2 weeks ahead for about a month, and 2-3 weeks ahead for quite awhile before that, so they sent me in for a growth u/s.  The baby is measuring right on schedule, and my fluid levels are normal, so I don't know what caused me to measure big.  I wouldn't worry too much about it.

    when I was around 30 weeks I was told I was measuting about 2 weeks ahead, but at the growth u/s, they told me everything was right on target.
