My baby is too big?
I went to my doctor for a u/s at 29w+4d and he found my baby is as big as 31w. What I am a little bit worring is the baby's heart is big as 32w. Is it nornal? My doctor said it's ok since you both (me and my hushand) are tall. Otherwise we should think about other problem. Anyone go through the same case?
Moreover, they found a calcification spot on my baby's heart. It was there when I have my u/s at 22w. But it still there. Hope my baby has nothing wrong with this.

Nope your baby is fine as far as its measurements are concerned. All different part of both my daughters bodies didn't add up and overall she was measuring 3 weeks behind schedule. When she was born turns out that they had been wrong and she was 6lbs 15 ozs and 19 inches. A lot of ladies on here have been told the opposite of me. That their baby was measuring big and would be 10 lbs when it was born only to have the baby be 7 lbs at birth. Because baby is all bunched up in there it is VERY VERY hard to get accurate measurements. I had 3 doctors measure the baby in a 10 minute space of time and they all got different measurements. 1 or 2 weeks isn't a big deal and I'm sure everything is fine!
Chickee, dont stress, the doctors told me that my girl was huge, measuring weeks and weeks ahead of what she was meant to be though the whole pregnancy, but she was born just before 35 weeks and to the doctors surprise she was tiny, they were expecting a 9 lb baby and she was only 5 lbs.
According to the ultrasound tech the most accurate timing for an ultrasound is in the first 12 weeks and after that there is more of a give or take to being correct

I honestly have not... if you are wondering why measurements are off when it comes to babies its because even the slightest degree of measurement can mean days or weeks. I got 3 ultrasounds by 3 specialists (because my daughter was measuring really small) within 15 minutes of one another and every one of them measured her differently.
Hi Alaysha, thanks for your reply. It sounds reasonable why it's difficult to measure accuratly.
