32 weeks measuring 35 weeks! Advice?

Question

Went to the doc today for regular checkup and they said my fundal measurement is 3 weeks ahead!! Last appointment it was right on track, my weight is still fine, sugar and proteins look good, they are just assuming baby is going to be very big. They’re going to do an ultrasound at the next appointment and talk about options from there. My question is what could the “options” be? If I’m still measuring 3 weeks ahead I’ll be measuring 37 weeks at that point 😓😓😓

Answer

Fundal measurements are not an accurate representation of your baby's size. Don't stress.

Answer

Not always the case . I happen to carry large. My fundal height was measuring 40 weeks at my 32 check up.  My midwife sent me for an immediate ulstrasound as she was so worried the baby was measuring large.. our little girl measured just fine for gestation age.  Zero issues with being to large.. I wouldn't stress at all!

Answer

I had a growth scan at 36 weeks and was offered a c section because my baby was measuring big... she was born vaginally post date 7lb 13oz. Had I taken them up on the c section I would have been so upset!

Answer

I measure small (with my first I measured 5 weeks behind when I delivered him- he was healthy, just small) and this pregnancy I’m already measuring behind (as of my 32 week appt). We had an ultrasound done and baby is actually measuring/weighing ahead of schedule 🤷🏻‍♀️ Fundal heights are super inaccurate.
