measurement

My fundal height measurements took my Dr. by surprise today. I am scheduled for a growth scan in a week. I am 24 4/7 weeks I gained 7 pounds in 5 weeks. I trust my Dr. so much and respect his opinions as well. He was clearly concerned. He said it is to early for the baby's size to affect the measurements so drastically. I am a seasoned mother baby #5 on board but can't help but freak out. It is going to be a LONG week! Any one else experience this?

Mine is the opposite. This is baby number 5 for me as well. This is my 1st one that has been affected by IUGR and I have never been more nervous. The biggest thing is you trust your dr. That's going to be really important for you moving forward. I hope all is well. Keep us posted.
