Gestational age in ultrasound ahead in schedule?

Question

I'm due November 23 according to initial calculations made by my doctor with my menstrual cycle. This makes me 17+2weeks pregnant. 
However my last ultrasound recorded the gestational age as 19weeks. 
Is my baby growing ahead of schedule? Am I delivering early? Mommas please help. 
It's my first and I'm confused and overwhelmed. Any mommas on the same boat?

Answer

Babies can measure bigger than their gestational age. Typically if they measure 2 or more weeks ahead they will change your due date. My first two sons always measured a week to a week an half bigger. They did end up coming on their own at 38 and 37 weeks. My daughter always measured where she needed to be and came on her own 5 days early. But this isn’t determined by how big they are. Some people just deliver early. If your baby measures too big at some point they may suggest delivering it early with induction or csection. All depends on the situation.

Answer

Hello! My baby is supposed to be due end of November but he’s 2 weeks ahead so they changed my due date. I would listen to what your OBGYN says, did they change your due date? It wouldn’t really matter because your baby will come out when he/she is ready unless you’re doing a c section which will be scheduled at 39 weeks.
