They told me I was going to have a 9lb+ baby and my son was only 7.5 sometimes drs can over estimate the weight
Maybe ur bby it is big. My 2nd bby I had a boy and I had him at 36w6d I had already open to 2cm so my dctr enduced my labor and he weigh 8lb15oz length 21inchs long. The dcrr said he was a bery healthy bby and a big one too.. And my 3rd bby had another boy I had him 39wks because I was already tired of my belly so my dctr induced my labor and my bby boy weight 8lbs1/2oz length 20inchs long.. And Thank god he was born healthy too. And my 1st bby had a girl she was the smallest one full term pregnancy she weight 7lbs 4oz length 19 1/2 inches She was the smallest one lol.. I had them all 3 Vaginal. But my 2nd bby riped me top and bottom because he was too big lol.. We'll see how big this 4rd bby comes out....
That's comforting to know! but with mine is that she's not that big all over the place, only her belly is bigger ( i just checked the measurements of an ultrasound ihad at 31 weeks and her belly was normal sized while her head was a little big, but now its the other way!)
My sister was over 10lbs and I was almost 10lbs and we were perfectly healthy and so was our mama! No gestational diabetes... Just big babies! :)
I know right? well i was not in the US (still not there btw) and the doctor said that since nothing shows on any other tests or in my family history that i might have GD, that she didnt feel it was necessary for me to get the test done. Im just hoping the baby ate too much by the time she had the ultrasound done :S omg and to think I have to wait till neeeeext week, this is a torture
I'm 34 weeks and at my 32 weeks appt my doctor said my son was on the larger side as well. They were saying he was measuring at 34 weeks, 2 weeks ahead of how i far i really was. They made me take another glucose test to rule a GD again but it came back normal. She said theres nothing wrong with a big baby however I MAY have to have a c section depending how big he gets closer to my due date. i have an appt 36 weeks to check his growth spurt again. He could be normal size but on the u/s he had a large head and abdomen so it could go either way. It ***** that you werent tested for GD at 28 weeks like you were suppose to
I can understand ur fear... But now u hve to just wait... I hve no Gastational Diabetes... I was measuring fine till 28wks... Growth spurt happened with in 3weeks time... Sometimes babies can be just simply healthy... My sister in always gave birth to kids 8-9lbs n she n babies are always fine... babies grow on there own time...mostly u/s dons before14wks is always correct for dates. .. After tht it cn change as somd babies get good growth spurt...
Yeah? Ive had ultrasounds everytime Ive been to the doc (normal in the two countries ive lived during this pregnancy) and in some the baby has been like a week or 2 ahead of weight but the doctors have always said "its fine". Now what I just remembered is that when I got pregnant I didnt know my exact date of conception cause i was very irregular.... so what if this whole time my fetus has actually been 2 weeks older than I thought? Regardless, I just hope its not gestational diabetes, cause that would suck :(
I am on the same boat as you...
I have had all the testings and they all came back fine.. i always measured fine by my due date until yesterday i found out at fundal measurement appoint that i was measuring about 2 weeks ahead.. than i had U/S today and baby is weighing 4.18lb at 31wks.. I m hoping it will level up in next few weeks... but if it didnt i ll have to go for another U/S and see what doctors will suggests... it is also on the average but at 90% centile ... i always measured 10%centile... and it happened with in 3wks.. the only theory i got so far is that baby had growth spurt so it should be fine.. i have appointment on 29 with midwife i m hoping to get more information on that...
i have also read that sometimes u/s readings can be inaccurate and baby could be in normal range..
