At my last appt with my midwife (at the time I was 25wks 6days) and she said I was measuring ahead,alot, she didnt say exactly how much tho she said it could be that my uterus or placenta is big or that lil man is so I was wondering if it is him thats big does that mean I could have to have him early?

I measured behind right near the end and my baby came out at 42weeks at 8lb 15.5oz!!! Dont think fundal measurments mean too much :) good luck

I've heard people say you get bigger with with your 2nd pregnancy..  Good luck to you..

Well I am short (5'1") but like I said never heard that with my last so I guess I can always ask at my sono 2morro

I don't really put very much stock in the measuring thing. With my first pregnancy I kept measuring too small, so I got a bunch of extra ultrasounsounds. The doctor told me since I measured small my baby would be small. My daughter was 8lbs 6ozs, not a bad size baby. I'm 6' tall The baby had more room to stretch out, my sister is fairly short and with her pregnancies she always measured big..

Lol yeah cause this pregnancy is nothing like my last its alot more "painful" and tiring and I have a sono appt 2morro and theyre going to measure him so I guess I can ask them too it doesnt help any that I'm an over paranoid person worry wart to the extreme haha well maybe not that bad but I do worry alot

I'm the same way lol my last u/s my daughter was measuring 4wks ahead and mainly has been behind...but they always say every pregnancy is different as we are finding out all too well lol

[Proudmama86]

I only worry cause I didnt have this problem with my 1st

[Proudmama86]

Ok thank u

Babies go through so many growth spurts its unreal...so he could be measuring big this time and right on schedule the next...I wouldn't worry about it too much because even being a big baby they wouldn't take him that early and would try to prevent birth till at least 37wks

[Proudmama86]

I want to go natural cause I wana be able to watch but I'll be ok with whichever he has to come cause I dont want any risk to him just cause I dont want to miss it u know plus im afraid if he has to come early cause hes too big I know the risk of a premie (my cousin had a premie and another cousins wife is being induced in a couple of wks and shes only a few wks ahead of me) so it worries me cause I just him to be healthy and ok

[agrell]

Yes and no...because it could of been the position he was in...are you trying to go natural or whatever way he needs to come you are ok with
