Question

Hi everuone. So on my last  check up i was 24 weeks and 2 days. Once doc measured my belly she said the baby measure 22 weeks so ordered ultrasound. The lady whos doing ultrasound told me i measure 25 weeks and 2 days and the baby is little bit bigger. After that j havent seen my doc. Im so confused. Which one is more accurate? ladies belp

Answer

The ultrasound is more accurate! 
Was the measurement the one your dr. took just with their tape measure? That's your fundal height and it isn't always the best indication of the baby's size. It's more of a ballpark estimation.

Trust the ultrasound, although measuring big isn't an issue :)

Answer

Ultrasound, belly is estimated my doctor told me it can be 2 weeks under or over. But as long as it's close she is not worried.

Answer

They can't measure your baby by measuring your uterus lol. That's two different things.

Answer

The belly is just an estimate. I (my stomach) measured 28 w when my son was 34 weeks along and he was growing in target
