Babys Measurements???

Well i had my scan wednesday (at 19 weeks 2 days - EDD 25th August) and was having a look thru my notes yesterday and my baby girl is measuring 175.2mm (17.5cm)

After looking over my baby books i figured the average size of a 20 week baby is 15cm.

My friend Stacyis having a boy and is due the day after me (26th August) and had her scan the day before me, but her little boy is measuring 159.0mm (15.9cm)

My doc measured me at 2-3 weeks further along when i saw him a couple of weeks back but the sonographer said that new measurements wouldnt change my EDD.

Im just wondering if 17.52cm is on the large size for 19 and a half weeks???

And does this mean she might be due a little earlier as suspected??????

My EDD asnt been changed it was just the midwife that thinks i am a couple of weeks further along . She as been saying this for a few weeks, i know the EDD doesnt change.

After 13 weeks babies grow at their own rate. Mine one week would be measuring older and then a couple weeks later she would be measuring where she was supposed to. They don't change your due dates because babies are always jumping around with their sizes.

The measurements come under HC 175.2mm on the scan report at the back of my notes. Im not sure if theyre the same in england as up here in scotland?

She is due 25th August and my 21st Birthday is 31st July so maybe il get the best present ever a little early :)

Ive just had a look at my scan notes and it doesnt say anything about the lengh of my little girl.  My midwife as said i feel about 2 to 3 wks further along just like you and she also said that there is a chance i could go into labour early. Im due 26th june so you never no i could be holding her at the end of may.
