Q: Measuring ahead

Had a midwife appointment yesterday. I am 31+4 days according to the hospital and measuring 34.5cm with my fundal height. Midwife said I could have a big baby (I really don't think so) or could have lots of fluid or it could just be babies position. I have an ultrasound today to check the fetal growth. But I just think my dates are wrong but they refuse to change them. Anyone else in the same boat?

At my midwife appointment this week I asked about my due date as the baby has been consistently measuring large on ultrasounds. She told me that, after the first trimester, babies all develop differently and at different rates so that it no one would really want to change a due date after the first ultrasound.

At my last appointment I was 28 weeks measuring 32. Its not uncommon. Miss Aubree is sitting breech so my ob thinks that's why, in my case.

Had my ultrasound. Only thing they could find was babies abdominal circumference was in the 68th percentile. So baby is a bit chubby.... But it's not massive or anything.

I am I've measured 4 weeks ahead they also told me I could have a big baby as well. My son even measured two weeks ahead on ultrasound. They wont change my due date either since babies grow at different rates and he could come two weeks early or two weeks late. They are planning to induce me if I am still measuring ahead at my next growth ultrasound
