More worry 😰 Polyhydraminos? Big baby?

Question

Went to my 34 wk checkup yesterday and fundal height was measuring 38 weeks. They are sending me to MFM for an ultrasound, but it’s a week from now and I am worrying myself to death about polyhydraminos. I am rh- so I’m more specifically concerned about fetal anemia, which can be one of the causes of excess amniotic fluid. I have had the rogham shot at 28 weeks, but I know that it’s not 100% effective. I hate that we have to wait so long to be seen! Baby has always measured 2 weeks ahead since the beginning, and we know that he is a big boy. He was 3.5 lbs at 28 weeks, so I am trying to tell myself that he is just big 🙏🏼 Anyone else out there experience anything similar?

Answer

I’m 32 weeks and measuring 36 as of yesterday. I’m also rh- but as far as I know that would only affect a future pregnancy if your current baby mixes blood with yours?

Answer

Excessive fluid, 9/10 times happens for no reason without any complications. 
I have it but I do have gestational diabetes and my son has consistently measured 2 weeks ahead. The only thing my doctor said was my water may break early because of the extra fluid but that I shouldn’t be concerned. 
My sister in law also had it for no reason. Her daughter had no issues.

Answer

I was measuring 3 weeks ahead fundal height. Did the ultrasound and he is measuring on time.
I just happen to be chubby and this kid likes to push out making my fundal height bigger.
