3rd Trimester

Measuring ahead...?

At my doctors appointment yesterday I was told that I'm measuring ahead... By a month! I'm measuring at 38 weeks and I was 34+4 days. I have a sonogram in 2 weeks and my doctor said we will go from there. She was feeling around my belly and she said that my daughter literally has like no room left to grow. I feel her moving literally in my vagina. It kinda scares me! It feels like she is going to just fall out.

Re: Measuring ahead...?

  • I always measured at least 4 weeks ahead with my DD due to fibroids.  After a 3rd tri growth u/s, they estimated that she was approx. 45th percentile.  She ended up being slightly smaller when she was born (39w).  

    Don't panic until you have your growth u/s and measurements -- just an outside measurement of your stomach doesn't give a good estimate of baby's size.  Every woman feels like baby has no room to grow in the last month of pregnancy.
