so I am 34 weeks and 1day today. my due date is January 8th. I had an ultrasound today and the tech said the baby is measuring almost 3 weeks ahead and weighs 6lbs 12ounces already. my doctor didn't seemed to concered about it just told me to watch what I eat. do you ladies think I will go earlier now? or no?

im on my second and im 23yrs old...its not that bad....your baby sounds like he or she is at a very healthy weight! :)

well that makes me feel better. I left all nervously thinking that I'm going to pop this baby out any time now..more than usual! I was a little put back bc my doctor said okay see you in two weeks but I figured he would want to see me every week now..considering I went to the hospital with back pain last week and when they checked me the baby was already engaged....so I'm freaking out! I'm only 21 and this is my first so I don't know what to expect!

Could go either way really. Also ultrasound measurements weight wise can be off.

thats like....average i guess....my 32wk ultrasound my son was measuring in at 5lbs12oz and im 35weeks now which would put my son at almost 7lbs....doctors arent too worried...its pretty healthy..you have a healthy baby growing in there....and actually your baby is prolly measuing in the 75% catagory which is normal.
