Measuring big? Help!

Question

I went in for a growth scan last week to see how our son was growing as I have measured at least four weeks ahead of schedule the last two visits. I know growth scans are not completely accurate, but They measured him at 35 weeks (supposed to be 31). This would move my due date to August 26.

Should I be hearing something from my doctor to confirm these readings or schedule an earlier appointment? My next appointment isn't until August 6 and that would put me at 37 weeks. Makes me a bit nervous if I am that far along and not seeing her until The 6th. Not sure if I should call or wait to hear something. The scan was done Thursday of last week. Any advice? I appreciate it ladies!

Answer

Your due date is still the same as before. You just have a big baby. I measures big too and delivered 3 days early. Keep your same appointment it will be fine.

Answer

Call and ask the dr to call you back to discuss the results. I had a growth scan at 37+3 and my LO measured at 8 lbs 6 ounces and I went into labor 4 days later and he was born at 9 pounds even at 38 weeks

Answer

I'm measuring 4 weeks big and he's 1.5 weeks big. Due date is still the same, but it's just he's big :)

Answer

With my previous pregnancy my son measured 3 weeks ahead since about 30 weeks but that doesn't change your due date. Your just going to have a big healthy baby 😊😊

Answer

This post gives me peace of mind BC I have been nervous as to why I've been measuring weeks ahead but now I feel better knowing this. I just always get confused when ppl ask how many weeks I am since every US is so far out of place
