does this mean I'm having a big baby

ok so I'm coming up 27 weeks pregnant. Midwife says baby is a healthy size but I look like I'm either having twins or I'm at least 35 weeks gone. I'm huge. Does this mean I'm gonna have a big baby. I'm loads bigger than I was on my 1st. Or is there a chance they messed up on my due date. My mam said its not impossible cause they messed up on her when she had my little sister.

I was much bigger with my second pregnancy because my stomach muscles were weaker so it popped out much sooner. Also my second daughter was bigger, 8.12 lbs comparing to my first baby, 6.11. Now being pregnant with twins I beat the record LOL! My belly is so huge that people stop when I walk by and ask if I'm carrying twins :-)

I just had my baby 5 weeks ago at 37 weeks he was 10 lbs 11 ounces.
My Dr. did tell me I was carring a BIG baby when I was like 25 weeks people would ask me if I was due anytime soon but I did retain a lot of water too. Good luck!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

ok thanks. I also have another question. My brother has got hypertrophic cardiomyopathy ( enlargement of the heart walls) he had op on it to thinner the walls of his heart. I'm now showing signs of the same thing. I have Bern referee to a doctor and also a cardiologist but my question is how will it affect me in labour if I do have it.

I loomed huge my whole pregnancy. I actually had someone say that they looked the same as me with twins further in their pregnancy. My daughter wasn't even 7 lbs when she was born.
