measuring more than what I'm supposed to

[1st_timemommy19]

Hi ladies... Have a quick question here. Has anybody else measured more than what you were? To be specific I went to see my midwife for a regular check up and she measured my stomach for the first time being 27 weeks and she said I measured 29 weeks. I'm not sure what its called but it was like a strip(ruler). Is my baby going to be big? Or am I just getting FAT other than just pregnancy?

If this little guy is on track to be daddy's size he's gonna  be huge!! My hubby was an 11 lb baby!!!!! I'm expecting him to be at least 10 lbs..I'm bigger @ 25 wks with him than I ever was with my  girls!!

My brother was over 10lbs when he was born.

Ok thank you :)
Puts my mind at rest... But oooouuuchh... A 9 pounder??! I hope I don't have a big baby.. my husband was a 9 pounder too so I hope our little boy doesn't come out weighing like daddy ;)

I've always measured big too!! My three girls have all been over 9 lbs!! This little guy is on track to be bigger yet! But I have heard of some women measuring big bc they have a lot of amniotic fluid too!! Plus some women carry different!! There are many reasons you can measure bigger hun..=)
