Measuring 95th percentile already!??
So at my 20 weeks scan my baby was measuring 9 days ahead of schedule. They told me their cut off was 10 days for changing the due date and asked how sure I was of my LMP, which my cycles are very regular and I always kept track of when they started. So they didn't change the due date but said they'd keep an eye on things. So when I was 25w4d, my uterus was measuring 28cm so they ordered a growth scan for 29 weeks. Well I just had my growth scan and this baby is already 4 pounds (I'm 29w4d today) and is in the 95th percentile. So they've ordered ANOTHER growth scan for 37 weeks to decide at that point if they just need to deliver this baby via c section early.
Now don't get me wrong, I'm not opposed to a c section if it's necessary and quite honestly am kind of hoping for one bc I'm only 5'1 and have heard of small women literally breaking their pelvis trying to push a big baby out. But I'm kind of freaking out as to WHY this baby is growing so big so fast!! I don't have an insane appetite like some women seem to experience, so I'm not overeating. I've only gained 25# total so far and most of that was honestly during the first trimester. Only 10# came from the second trimester. I eat pretty healthy with the occasional indulgence so I'm just really confused where all this growth is coming from! Any other mama's out there ever had a similar experience?? Did everything turn out ok??
