BIgger then it should be

I got my 4th us today and they wanted to move my due date up again but they knew the baby was not that far along. I had a mc at the time they said  I got pregnant if I go by the dates today. I was temping so I know when I had sex and when I got preggers:) They said I am going to ahve a big baby and I thought they could not tell by this early but later in pregnancy! By my dates I am 8 weeks 3 days and by their dates two weeks ago I am 8 weeks 6 days and today they wanted to put me closer to 10 weeks! Has anyone every heard of a baby growing this fast?? I htought it was twinsLOL by my belly getting so big so fast. I am NOT diabetic either. THe doctor said they rarely see babies grow this big but see it more in more pregnancies that you have and 100% of the time they are big babies! SHe said they do not go by US later in pregnancy for weight becasue it can be off so much. My uterusis right above my belly button! I look like I am 5 months compared to what  I was at 5 months all the other times:) Has anyone heard of this??? I saw legs and arms going every which way and the baby moving all around. They also got a good shot on my belly instead of the vaginal us. Heart rate was 180 and everything is looking good. I ahve only gained 1lb the whole time so far.

Thanks yep I am not worried anymore. I really think the tech had to of wrote the sac size down by mistake or something! I know the baby is growing and looks great so that si all I will think about! Later on if they say the baby is too big I will not believe it till I see the baby:) US are always off on sizes later on anyways.

Mine weight a lot when they're born. I was induced with my daughter when she stopped moving because she was so big..9lbs. They brought both of my boys at 38 weeks and they were both 8lb 8oz. But there is no way to tell at such an early stage about the size they will be when they're born..Mine all measured on the smaller side for the first 25 weeks or so. As said above...I wouldn't worry about it at all if the dr.'s aren't :0)

I know my first was born at 3 1/2 weeks early and was 6lbs 13.2oz and they said if he went full term he would of been 10lbs. All of my babies were big for their ages even though they were early. I am starting to wonder if that is why I went early! Or it played a hand in it!

Wow. Well I've never heard of anything like this before! It will be interesting to see if they change their minds later, or if the baby comes a month early!

OK I had wrote down how big the baby is crown to rump and in cm it says 11.7 now that is 4.6". I have looked everywere and it says the baby should be like only 1.6" at 8 weeks. They also said that they can tell by how the baby is developed that it is according to my due dates just not the size of the baby. I have never heard of this before! Have any of you?? I know they can be off on weight near the end but goodness this sounds awful big! I am feeling flutters too now:) I thought to myself I am just imagining it since yesterday but I woke up with it and knew I wasn't then.

Wow thats crazy! Its not happened to me before but I think if the dr is not concerned then you probably dont have to worry. My first daughter was 9lbs at birth and they told me to expect her to be around 6-7lbs. They arent always right with those things apparently lol
