measuring big? when does it become a concern?

[Peytonsmama]

For my last few apts I have been measuring a few weeks big.at my 28 week apt I was measuring 31 weeks.what does it mean? Will my due date change? Will I have a big baby? Or will my tummy just get huge?

It depends.  They should give you another ultrasound around 36wks  to make baby! I got one today I'm 37+2 they said he is 7lbs 9 oz. Biggest baby for me so far I have GD this pregnancy.  My other kids were 6.1,6.10 and 6.1. So I'm curious how my delivery will b. My last 3 deliveries were easy. They popped right out lol

At 28 weeks she did a emergency ultra sound and it said 2 lbs 11 oz. But when he measured my belly later I measured 31 weeks.

I just had a dr appointment a little while ago and my dr told me that my son could basically come at any time. Like I said before, I'm measuring 4 weeks ahead. I'm a bit curious though. At 28 weeks, was the weight for your baby given with you being three weeks ahead or was she actually measuring 28 weeks? When I was 28 weeks my son was measuring 4lbs. And that was with him being 4 weeks ahead.

If it is more than 2 weeks ahead they may deliver you a week before your due date.

I'll be 30 weeks this week and measure at 33. Our daughter was only 6.15 at birth and was two weeks over due. My husband and I were both small as well. I don't have gd. And haven't gained much weight. At last ultra sound baby weighed 2 l b 11 oz at 28 weeks.

My baby has been measuring big as well. My doctor has me get weekly ultrasounds in order to track his growth. He is perfectly healthy. Just big. But big babies run in my hubby's family so it didn't come as a big surprise. My son has been consistently 3-4 weeks ahead. My doctor told me my due date will probably get adjusted as we get closer to the end. I wouldn't be overly concerned. Big babies are also common if you have gestational diabetes. But if you don't, you could just have a big baby. I'm 33 weeks.
