Measuring ahead ?

Today I went to my doctors appointment and be measured my fundamental height for my uterus . I'm measuring at 34 weeks . But I turned 32 weeks today. But last appointment (2 weeks ago) I was measuring 30 weeks . I jumped from 30 to 34 in 2 weeks . Is it more likely my son is measuring ahead or that my uterus is just measuring ahead ?

Oh my goodness . I'm sorry to hear that ! I've had 2 d&c's which were almost back to back and I've read online that could be a cause . So I've been worried lol

This will be my third csection. But in my second pregnancy the scar on my uterus from the previous csection was weak and my second child was much larger than the first. So that combined with contractions(which I didn't know that I was having ) was too much pressure and caused the incision to open. It wasn't discovered until they went in to get the baby so they had no idea how long it had been ruptured but luckily I didn't lose too much blood then it could've been a very bad situation.

Oh goodness! Lol she'll be perfect! What caused the rupture ? I read something about that before and that scares me!

I will be 37 weeks and got confirmation today that the reason why they want to take her is because she's a big one..lol but also because I had a previous uterine rupture so they definitely don't want me to go into labor at all. But I just pray that she'll be okay because that's what's important.

I'm not worried , just hoping he's measuring ahead so maybe I can have him here a week earlier than my due date lol. I'm so ready to have him . It's hard to be patient . How far will you be when you have your c section ?

I went to my dr's two weeks ago and my baby was measuring at 32 weeks and I was only 28 weeks at the time so he sent me for another ultrasound.  On the ultrasound baby was measuring a little over 32 weeks and tech says she weights a little over 4lbs already.  Had plans to have a scheduled csection on November 19th and got a call today to say they're moving my date up to November 5th!! I just assume that I'm having a big baby since my last was almost 9lbs. Don't worry too much as long as baby is healthy and moving around everything will be okay;)

My doctor told me that with the fundal measurement, as long as it's within 1-2 cm of the week, they are okay with that. My son was measuring 13 days ahead at 29+6 (I'm 32+3 now) but my fundal has been right on. So it's not necessarily a judge of the size of your baby, just of your uterus.

Let me know how it goes please ! I won't go for another appointment until the 29th . I know my son isn't measuring big as in weight because my sonogram 3 weeks ago he was average weight . So I'm not sure what's going on
