36 weeks but measuring 40 weeks.

[Hinata420]

So this is my third pregnancy and I will be 36 weeks tomorrow according to my doctors. AND apparently when I went to my appointment today my doctor said I am reading at 40 weeks instead of 36 weeks. He checked and said my appointment before that I measured at 39 weeks instead of 34 weeks. They just neglected to mention that to me. So he told me he has requested a ultra sound to see if the baby is large and may need to be born earlier. I am a bit worried though. Has anyone gone through this? And anyone know if there is any risks?

Update: So when I went to my doctors they did a mini ultra sound and said his head is at the right size but his body is a bit larger. His body high is the same size as a 39 week old when now I am only 37 weeks. He will be a bit larger but I am sure iv can handle him. But I am wondering if he will come earlier or later then 40 weeks.

I am going through the same thing now. He currently measuring 3 weeks bigger... I have another ultrasound scheduled on Wednesday so I will see what they say then... I hope it's good news because I really do not want a c-section

And thank you for the encouraging words keelan. I will most definitely keep you posted once I know what's up. You made me feel better

Oh my gosh. So if he is to big they will c section?

I measured 4 weeks ahead starting at 32 weeks I ended up with a csec at 39 weeks for multiple reasons one of them being my baby girl was almost 10 lbs.  Healthy and beautiful... Best of luck!

But I am sure you & I will both have healthy babies one way or another, just maybe chunky.

I'm getting ready to go through this too. Been measuring 3 weeks ahead for two months. At my next appointment (36 weeks) if it's still the same story I will have my ultrasound scheduled. But if he is big, they won't induce me because my goal is a VBSC so I'd have to have a c section. (Or induce myself) please please update when you know!
