32 weeks measuring 34

[Fayewithbaby3]

Hey ladies,
Just wondering I'm 32 weeks at my last app I was 31 and the doc said I was measuring at 34 weeks, went for a growth scan and baby was around 4lbs just wondering if this effects my due date at all if any of you know?
Thanks

No that's how i was last pregnancy.

I've been measuring two weeks ahead my whole pregnancy, now 36 weeks. I'm 5'7" and my husband is 6''1" and we're the smallest people in our families. Doctor told me not to worry, "big people have big babies." Good luck!

I have measured 4-6 weeks advanced from both of my pregnancies. My daughter was born at 42+3. Measurements reflect how the baby is sitting in you, not due dates.

Thanks girls! It was just confusing, they said she is head down already so it got me paranoid that she was going to come early since she is growing so fast or if she stayed till due date I would have to deliver a massive baby lol

no it is genetics at this point. your first early scan is the most accurate but can be off by 5 days.  at 20 weeks it can be off by 2 weeks, but this late in your pregnancy, a baby's measurements can be off as far as 2 months!
it can also be the way your baby was laying or he could have had a huge growth spurt.

Same thing happened to me until 35weeks when I started to have more normal measurements. I'm now nearly 37 and measuring normally. It shouldn't change your due date.

That shouldn't effect your due date. It's quite normal to measure a few weeks ahead or behind. You may have a slightly larger baby, or your measurements could even out by the time you have him/her.
