Big baby?

Question

I had my check up today and they told me baby girl was measuring ahead, so they scheduled me for and ultrasound in 2 weeks. The doctor looked concerned so now I'm worried. Could I just be having a big baby? 26w5day today. 🤦🏽‍♀️

Answer

I'm in the same boat. My doctor said I was measuring big when I was 23w5d and said if my next appt (I'll be 27w5d) I'm measuring big then she would order an ultrasound to see if my due date should be changed. But when I looked it up online I read all these other reasons. I'm a little worried too but trying to keep it cool til I see my doctor again March 10th. Let us know how it goes. Wishing the best for you!

Answer

I wouldn't worry about it. My baby is also measuring ahead - early on it was 8 days ahead, and at my last scan it was another 3 days ahead. All they did was change my predicted due date to earlier in June.  They assured me it's absolutely nothing to worry about.

Answer

Mine was measuring big and they cited my carb rich diet. The babies can be a little too plump if our diet is unbalanced. I have been tryyyying to cut back of carbs and hopefully will make the delivery process a little smoother

Answer

All my sis's kids measured 3 weeks ahead by fundal measurement and mine is too currently. She just grows big babies. Never had GD or anything

Answer

Same here. My little girl has been measuring about 2 weeks ahead the whole time. I'm currently 25w but my doc says they don't change due date after 1st trimester.
