Big baby or just extra fluid???

Question

Soooo I'm measuring 37 weeks today but I’m only 30w4d. My OB told me it could be extra fluid or just a big baby but I’ll be getting an ultrasound next week to see what’s going on. I’m a little unsettled…. Anybody else have or had this issue?

Answer

If this a belly measurement, those are very inaccurate.
My OB won’t even do them.

Answer

I've been measuring ahead as well. At 22wks I was 22cm, 24wks I was 27cm, and yesterday at 26wks I was 30cm. My doc hasn't ordered anything yet. I've heard it's common if you're a bigger girl, or have more weight around your stomach for the measurements to be inaccurate. I'm not though, and my bump is actually pretty small compared to everyone else's. Baby also measured in the 54% at 20 weeks so he's not a big baby. It's just weird!! 
I've been puzzled so if you could update us after your ultrasound to see what is causing it that would be great 😅

Answer

It’s very hard to tell. I gained 40 pounds in my
Pregnancy and always Carried big. I heard from everyone I was gonna have a big baby. (Even my midwife. ) little guy was 6lb13oz 😉 
If you are too worried , just watch your sugar intake and eat healthy carbs. You’ll be ok 😘
