19w5d Uterus Measuring big

[jahawr89]

FTM. Lost two angels before. Went for my checkup and my uterus is measuring 24cm instead of 18 - 22 cm.

My doctor didn't say anything about it and just continued on with the checkup after telling me my uterus measured 24cm. I came home and Google why this would be. And a bunch of negative things came up with only a few hopes.

So now I'm a little worried and looking for some peace of mind before the ultrasound on Friday. Friday just seems so far away now.

Has anyone else measured bigger than they should've and had everything be fine? Or what happened?

I know my due date isn't off as I know the date we conceived and I've had my dating ultrasound and everything matches up.

In my first pregnancy, I measured about a month ahead for a while. Then, sometime in the third trimester I ended up measuring two weeks behind. Dr sent me for an ultrasound to make sure baby was okay. My daughter was born 41 weeks and five days weighing 7lbs, 5 oz, and in perfect health. So relax. Measuring is not an exact science, just like your baby is going to hit some milestones early and some late. It's an estimate that drs use to mark your progress.

Thank you for the positive feed back!

It happened to me and when they did the ultrasound and it turned out her legs where measuring 2 weeks ahead so she's just super long! The rest of her body was in proportion so I wouldn't worry too much if I were you..good luck!

Your baby might just be bigger or the baby could be lying in a weird position having you measure bigger.
