30 weeks pregnant and measuring 42

Anybody else go through this and have a normal size baby? I mean everything is normal, fluid, and everything else.

yeah hun, try not to worry, i got sent for a scan at 32 weeks as i was measuring hugely over what i should have been! I was massive! And the scan revealed the baby was normal size, he wa 7lb 4oz born in the end, but before that scan midwife was worried i was having a 10lb or more! If they were majorly worried they would be checking you out i.e sending you for scan to check you out, so try not to worry x

i'm 31 weeks but my belly's measuring 42.....of course i'm having twins soooo i'm not sure how it works with one baby. i do know my little guys had a big "growth spurt" last week and went from measuring 20 weeks to almost 32. they're each at almost 4.5 lbs. at least you know s/he is healthy!!! and won't be underweight and sickly when s/he is born!

i think it may have been the position your baby was sitting thats just too much of a difference..2 weeks ago i was 35 weeks my baby was measuring 38 i had an ultrasound and my baby was normal size

At my last ultrasound on July 3rd the baby was measuring right on he was 2lbs 6oz. There is just one so far lol. But seriously they just have me going back for another ultrasound in 2 weeks.

I believe it's all baby. I have gained about 15ibs and I can still fit in my pre-pregnancy pants. When I went to get an ultrasound 3 weeks ago he was a little over 3lbs. So I am not sure. I go for another ultrasound in 2 weeks.
