Should I be worried ?

Question

So I had my 4 week check up and my belly is measuring at 30 weeks but I'm only 28 +4 should I be concerned? Because I can't stop thinking about it. Now my doctor  wants me to go and get a ultrasound to measure baby. So How did everyone find the diabetes blood work test I have to go and get that soon  I'm kinda nervous about it, me and blood work don't go well together at all sometimes I pass out. 😰

Answer

I had a 31 week check up and I'm measuring big too. The Dr wouldn't tell me how far ahead, but I'm being sent for an ultrasound too. My bloodwork came back fine, he said I just might have a big baby. But it's still all I can think about.

Answer

I’m measuring 3 weeks ahead. I failed my 1 hour glucose and passed my 3 hour. They are concerned as my baby is measuring very big so the plan is to monitor him for growth. I have a repeat ultrasound in 3 weeks.

Answer

I went in for a growth scan at 28w 3d. Baby boy here measured 32w2d😳 and was 87% on the percentile. 
They scheduled me for another growth scan at 33w but they are not concerned. I also passed my glucose test(failed 1h but did pass the 3h test) 
Looks like he’s just a big baby🤷🏻‍♀️

Answer

I mean, the worst thing about measuring ahead is you might have a big baby? My first was 10 lbs, so I know it can freak you out, but if doctor’s concerned they’ll probably ask you if you want to do a csection. She was also breached, so she did me the favour of a csection 🤣 I felt fine after mine, didn’t even feel like I had had surgery.

Answer

I’ve been measuring 2-4 weeks ahead the whole time, same with my last baby. He was just a big baby 🤷🏼‍♀️ no gestational diabetes or anything. I’m assuming this will also be a big baby!

Answer

My fundal height was 2 weeks ahead so I had an ultrasound today and baby was measuring perfectly on track, 50th percentile. Fundal height is not entirely accurate to baby size.

Answer

My due date with my last was moved up twice! My husband and I were both over 10 pound babies and they predicted a 9 1/2 to 10 pound baby for us as well, and he came in just under 8. Don’t stress!

Answer

My fundal height was measuring two weeks ahead at 28 weeks, so we did an ultrasound and his percentile actually went to a normal range from my 20 week ultrasound. 
None of it is really an “accurate” way of measuring this far along. It’s just a rough idea. Try not to stress too much! My fundal height is now measuring on track at 32 weeks. 🙂

Answer

Measuring the belly is an unreliable way of gauging how big the baby is
