If your baby measured ahead on ultrasound did they come ahead of their due date?

Question

Baby measured almost 2 weeks ahead at anatomy scan (23w but was measuring 25w). I know they're pretty inaccurate sometimes and or it could just mean he's a big baby but just curious/for fun!

Answer

My son measured 2 weeks ahead from 24w on, they kept saying he would be 10lbs+++ and come early.
He came a couple hours before his due date at 8lbs 5oz.
Those scans can actually be off up to 2lbs (!!!!!!) in either direction!! :)

Answer

They said my son was measuring on the bigger side since I was 32 weeks pregnant and they were afraid I wouldn’t be able to have natural vaginal birth since I’m so small so they were going to induce me exactly at 40 weeks if I have not gave birth by then. My son was born 5 days before my due date and he was exactly 7lbs and was only 20 3/4 inches so he was average. Ultrasounds can be up to two pounds off.

Answer

My kids always measured ahead and were supposed to be very big. 
First came at 39 weeks and was 7 lbs, 12 oz.
Second came at 38+6 and was 7 lbs, 2 oz. 
Both were a little large for me since I'm 4'11 and 90 lbs. But they had me worried these kids were 10 pounders.

Answer

My baby measured a week ahead and he came 3 days late at 8lbs15oz

Answer

Answer

My son measure 1.5 weeks ahead from 20 weeks and forward, he was 5 days late.

Answer

At 23w I was measuring at 25w also, I'm 25w now and measuring right on

Answer

My baby was measuring close to like 3 weeks ahead and they estimated that he was going to be 9 to 10 pounds by my due date so they induced me a few days early. He ended up only being 7 pounds. I would take ultrasound measurements with a grain of salt
