Are you talking ultrasound or the tape measure on the belly? Both can be wildly inaccurate. My baby’s generally get bigger each one; 5#11, 6#13, 7 even, 6#13, 7#3, 7#8, 7#11. I do worry what baby 8 will be at but this one we are both dealing with failure to thrive so not sure how much that is affecting us. I was measuring 1-2 weeks ahead currently with the tape measure, I’m just assuming because my body has been there done that a few times and I don’t have tummy muscles to hold anything anymore 🤷🏼♀️. If the doctor doesn’t seem overly concerned, maybe try to take the measurements with a grain of salt.
Big baby!
I had my 24 week appointment today and was told that my baby girl is measuring TWO WEEKS bigger than she should. Both of my boys were 7 lbs 7 oz at birth but I’m worried that this little girl is going to be HUGE and hard to push out. And no I did not get my due date wrong. I feel ovulation and know when I did the do during that time.

Are they concerned with gestational diabetes or something? I know ultrasound isn’t 100% accurate and can be off by a week or two, I’ve absolutely heard stories of doctors predicting big babies and that not being the case, but are they going to send you for additional scans or anything?
Hi
I was checked early at 13 weeks for GD and was fine but I’ll do another in 2 weeks. They didn’t do a scan just the belly measurement.
