Confused about all that belly measuring stuff???

Question

I will be 36 weeks tomorrow. Doctor said I am measuring 37.. does that mean baby is bigger or what does it mean?

Answer

It means your uterus is measuring average size for 37 weeks. It doesn't mean anything. You can have a small baby, but lots of fluid, which can cause you to measure ahead. Unless you drastically increase in size by your next appointment, then there's no need to worry about baby's size.

Answer

My doctor said 3cms in either direction is normal. I've been measuring 2 weeks ahead for the past couple months. If you've already had a child it's normal for your uterus to be a little larger, you could also just have more fluid or a bigger baby...not freakishly big or anything tho lol
