Baby measuring ahead with no due date change?

Question

Hey all, I am 35w today and my lil one has been consistently measuring about 3.5 weeks ahead but my doc hasnt changed my due date.....ever (not even at the beginning).  Has anyone else experienced this?

Answer

My doctor goes off date of last missed period, he said due date wouldnt change at all during my pregnancy, even if baby measured ahead or behind. I knew my exact conception date (my husband works away from home and was only home once that month), but he still went by my LMP.

Answer

I'm also measuring big. Had a growth US @ 32w and little man was measuring 5lbs 10 oz and in the 95th percentile. No change in due date, I'm having repeat c-section at 39 .. Doc won't move due date based on size this late in pregnancy. Genetics take over at some point, doesn't mean your further along, probably just a big baby! :-) my first was 10lbs 6 oz when born at 39w 2 days 2

Answer

My guy is measuring 15 days big, in the 94% percentile.  No change. Dr said at this point only thing we would consider is c-section and I'm already having a repeat.  He happy in there, he is just going to be a big boy.

Answer

I've measured 3 weeks bigger since 28 weeks but had a growth u/s at 30 weeks and baby is in the 56 percentile so no due date change. I'm overweight and my belly measuring bigger is more my fat belly above my c section scar rather than actual baby. Could be the same with you. Also they measurements can be off by 2 weeks either way, as long as your belly is growing you should be fine.

Answer

They don't change the due date based off size. Otherwise all those babies who are bigger than like 8pounds would be considered over due! Besides measurements at this stage are pretty inaccurate. Even ultrasounds can be off by a pound either way! 
The most accurate is the dating scan or the 12w scan. As all babies develop the same until then... Then start to differentiate.

Answer

I am measuring between 3-4 weeks ahead as well.  My dr has not changed my due date. He only said we will have another growth scan soon to see how he is growing. I was also put on a diet as if I have GD to see if that will slow down his growth.
