Measuring ahead?

Question

Any other mamas measuring ahead of their due date? We had a growth scan for our baby girl today at 36 + 3 and she's measuring 38 + 4. She's already 7.3 lbs 😩

Answer

Keep in mind that these are not actual facts...the baby may measure a certain weight right now but it is actually almost zero indication of what she actually weighs.

Answer

my belly is measuring @32 weeks I'm 35 weeks, went in for a scan and baby is measuring at 37 weeks! We are all over the place but it's baby #3 for me so I'm not really concerned I know how of they can be!

Answer

I’m 36w 1 day and baby is measuring above the 99th percentile at 8lbs 9oz. My Maternal Fetal Medicine Doctor told us the measuring can be off by 10-15%.

Answer

They can be off by 20% according to my midwife..
My baby was estimated to be 6lb 11oz @ 34+2.. just above the 95th centile (they measure our babies growth against our previous babies charts now in England)
I have another scan next week at 36+2 to see if anything has changed

Answer

I’m 36+3 and little man measured in the 60th percentile today at 6lbs 14oz.  Getting induced in 2 weeks and pretty excited!

Answer

I’m almost 37 weeks and I’m measuring 42 weeks! I’m being induced next Thursday due to medical issues. But for the last couple months I have measured ahead! I am carrying a lot of fluid. But doctor said she is a lot bigger then my first. So who knows 🤷🏻‍♀️

Answer

I was told the measurements could be off so I wouldn’t worry too much. I’m 36+4 and 2 days ago they said she already measured 40 weeks.

Answer

I may be going for a growth scan because I’m measuring Small, but my midwife isn’t all that concerned..anyway, she did mention sizing can be up to 2 lbs off either way and growth scans are good for super big or super small babies, but for those in the middle it doesn’t help much. I wouldn’t be worried! They are not very accurate...

Answer

Thanks for all the feedback ladies, I appreciate it!! 😊
