Answer

babies grow at different rates in the womb just as outside the womb. its based on averages. i measured ahead with my 1st and she was 2.5 weeks early. my friend measured ahead with all 3 babies and due date or later babies. there really is no exact science on it. babies come when come. i believe its part of them telling us we are on their sched and not ours from the start ha best due date scan is in the 1st trimester.

Answer

My daughter measured ahead by 3 days at 30 weeks. They told us she would be a big baby. She was only 6lbs. This baby is measuring almost 2 weeks ahead right now! I go to the doctor today and I'm going ask what it means!
