Measuring big?

I am 27w5d, first timer. Today was my second appointment where I measured "big". Today I measure 34w. Just had my glucose test today (no results yet) and my Dr wants me to have a follow up ultrasound tomorrow. Anyone else measure big? Why? And what was the solution/outcome? My Dr says it could be several things that range from "nothing" to my girl have digestive problems. Ugh

The u/s tech relieved some fears today. Our girl measures proportionally and at 29w with a seemingly normal amount of fluid. Still no answer on gest diab. So my bet is that or I'm just big.

Wow 7 weeks ahead?  My doc doesn't comment on fundal height because it's unnecessary.  Women carry different than others. I find it odd that they would tell you such information, that it may raise a concern to you and stress you out. I would be upset.  I hope your GD test comes back negative tho,  and that you have one big healthy baby!  ♡ :) good luck!
