Uterus feeling bigger at 18 weeks?

Jennifer
According to my first ultrasound I'm 18+2 weeks. I had an ultrasound the other day and my doctor said the baby was healthy and growing well. I went to the hospital yesterday because I fell down the stairs and wanted to make sure everything was okay with baby. When the doctor was feeling my belly to make sure i wasn't feeling any tenderness he said that I felt bigger than 18 weeks. My ob has never checked my belly. I've only had ultrasounds and her listen to the heart beat. Is it possible that I'm just having a smaller baby and I'm a little further along than thought? By my lmp I should be around 19+4 weeks
