Measuring 28-30wks at 25 weeks pregnant // Should I be concerned?

Question

I have been pretty calm this entire pregnancy, and baby boy has been measuring right on track, negative results on all chromosomal testing so he is healthy, and everything looked great at my 20 week ultrasound.
Today, at 25 weeks, I went into see my Dr. and she said I was measuring about 3-5wks ahead according to fundal height. She ordered an US but didn’t seem to seem worried. Heartbeat was normal and fetal activity has been consistent since 22 weeks.
For reference, I’m 5’2 and weighed about 117 pre-pregnancy and have gained 25lbs already. I have not had my glucose screen yet (I have to go back in 2 weeks for that).
Seriously, have I been eating to many frosted mini wheats?
Did I do something wrong?
What if I have excess amniotic fluid???
Trying to stay calm, but I’m not gonna lie...this FT Momma is worried (just a little).

Here’s my bump photo for reference as well.

Answer

I’m in a similar position as you. I have to go for an ultrasound in a couple weeks (I’ll be 28 weeks at that point) because my baby’s abdomen is measuring two weeks ahead. My OB said it is not concerning whatsoever and he’s just going to be a big boy. My husband is 6’6 so I’m really not surprised this baby is a big one haha

Answer

Fundal height measurement isn’t accurate indicator of baby’s actual size. It’s a measurement of your uterus which holds the baby. It’s great your doc ordered ultrasound bc it’s an added time to see baby. But don’t be concerned. 
Anyhow babies are born at all different weights and heights at some point they have to develop Nat different rates to end up that way.

Answer

You and your baby are healthy I wouldn't worry, they base these measurements on the average 7lb baby at birth and we all know that babies come in all different sizes, id rather have babies on the bigger side than the smaller, sounds like your growing a very healthy and strong little boy 🤗

Answer

Are you measuring that far ahead by fundal height or anatomy scan? Either way, I’d say you have nothing to worry about. Could be as simple as your due date is off or if it’s just by Fundal height could be just how you carry. No stressing ❤️

Answer

Doctor probably just wants to get an idea of what’s going on in there. Baby is probably just having a growth spurt. Also make sure you aren’t letting yourself get too hungry between meals, in a binging type way- I’ve been reading this kind of pattern in eating can cause baby to be larger. So make sure meals are small and frequent. You seem like ur right on track

Answer

I wish I had something to contribute but I’m really not sure. I feel like I’m huge this time around and I’m curious if at my next appointment I will measure ahead. I’m 5’4” and was 118 prepregnancy and I’ve already gained 24 lbs. I don’t eat anymore than I did when I wasn’t pregnant and I exercise the same I don’t know how to stop getting so big. Oh and I’m 23 weeks

Answer

I know a couple of people who were told they carried big and that the baby would be huge. In all cases the babies weight a bit bigger but not as big as they expected.
