I'm measuring 2 weeks ahead so far, and I have another sono in 2 weeks to check growth. I'm hoping baby isn't any bigger than she was before. Measuring early doesn't mean baby is developed, right?

I am pregnant with our 4th child. My uterus is measuring 4 weeks ahead. Midwife said it was normal because this is my 4 child. Uterus has been used before and a little stretched out! Lol... i am currently 28 weeks at age 41. Ultrasound revealed baby is measuring 28 weeks according to bone but uterus is 32. And there is only one baby in there!! No worries

I'm measuring 3 weeks bigger than my dates but midwife has said not to panic, the tape measure approach is just a rough guide and can change one day to another with babies position and things. Good luck.

At my last appointment according to my doctors records I had only gained like 3 pounds at 27 weeks 1 day, so they had me do an ultrasound to make sure he wasn't measuring too small and thankfully he was right on track, so I'm sorry that urs is off but atleast he's big and not small

Oh jeebus I feel for you. My boy is measuring two weeks ahead at last check up, and I can feel it! At 29 weeks, I'm the same size now as I was at 34 weeks with my last pregnancy, and I've even lost 40 lbs since I found out I was pregnant in December. I feel gargantuan. I could only imagine what it would be like to measure 4 weeks ahead. Has your doctor mentioned anything about inducing early or going into labor early naturally?  My doctor told me to be ready early not only because he's measuring bigger and bigger everyone,  but because he's already dropped into the canal and tried to make an early entrance already.
