9 weeks but measuring 12

Has anyone measured farther along than you really were? Today, I had a midwife appointment and everything looked great. She drew blood, took blood pressure, listened to my breathing and heart. Then she said she would try for the babies heartbeat. We heard it as soon as she set the doppler on my stomach. It was loud and strong! She said that If I measure big at the next visit she would order an ultrasound. I am certain about conception day. Could something be wrong? Could it be twins?

I am measuring farther along as well. And then they decided I had gestational diabetes but everything has been fine. I wouldn't stress about it..

I am measuring well ahead. However with none of my pregnancies did they start measuring even close to that early. I don't see how she could possibly tell by fundal height at this point. I wouldn't even think twice of it.

Why would she think you were farther along without a ultrasound?.... At 9 weeks your suppose to hear baby with a doppler. That was how I knew I had a miscarriage back in 2013
