Could be a big baby or extra amniotic fluid. At 30 weeks I was measuring 34, im now 38 weeks 4 days and measuring at 49 weeks. Doc said for me to expect a 9 to 10 pound baby based on the growth scan he did :-/  And my GD test was neg all 3 times they check lol

My midwife told me it is absolutely normal to measure up to 3 weeks ahead. As long as its not more. I'm on #4 and I measured big for my last 2. And they were 7 and 7.14. I wouldn't worry

The majority of babies with a 2VC turn out just fine. If the baby continues at 2 weeks ahead through the rest of the pregnancy, I wouldn't worry. Average growth after 32 weeks is about 1/2 lb per week.

Thanks guys!! Doc didn't seem concerned at all. I have a 2 vessel umbilical cord which typical leads to smaller babies so that's why I was confused at measuring bigger!!

It could be either one. If your doctor did not find it concerning you should be OK. Due dates are often off.

Could be, although they would have noticed that at the ultrasound.  Was your doctor concerned?

Could be either but the scan should date u as close as possible so measuring big is the likelihood... That said, with our little miracles there really is no exact science
