measuring big

  • Fifth Pregnancy and Measuring Large

    QUESTION

    Dear Midwife,
    According to my last period, my EDD is Jan. 4th, 2010. That puts me at 28 weeks today. This is my 5th pregnancy, one of which was a miscarriage at 10 weeks. My last baby weighed 9lbs 12oz and my smallest was 8lbs 6oz, so we are expecting a larger baby. During the 21 week u/s he measured, yes another boy, 10 days larger which is no concern for me. However, at my last appointment I was 23 weeks and measured at 27. I know measurements can vary and aren't the most accurate but in all of my previous pregnancies, I had never measured large.

    Dear Ms Ultrasound,

  • Larger Than Normal

    QUESTION

    Dear Ms. Ultrasound,
    I am 30 weeks pregnant and measuring 40 weeks. I do not have gestational diabetes or an excess amount of fluid, according to the last ultrasound at 28 weeks. They did not do measurements.

    Is there a possibility that my baby could be that big already?

  • Why Would I Measure Farther Along?

    QUESTION

    Dear Midwife,
    Everything I have read states that around 16-17 weeks I should be able to feel my uterus just below my belly button. However, at my last appointment, my OB stated that my uterus was already at my belly button and I am suppose to only be 13 weeks. Does this mean that I am further along or my body is just different from the norm?

    My due date is 09/12.

    Thank you.
