So on 28 weeks an measure at 31. Does that mean he will come early? Dr says he's on his way to 8 or 9 lbs.

my first baby was 12lbs 8 oz

[lilmamma19]

Well, this is my first too, I didn't know if that would be a factor

I measured 2-3 weeks ahead by the 30 week u/s and she was born at 40 weeks 1 day at 7lb 13 oz

Haha good point!

I measured "big" with my first. They told me he would easily be 9 pounds. Every ultrasound they said he would be a big baby.... I delivered him at 37 and a half weeks. He was 7lbs 5oz.... Needless to say the drs were wrong. They also said my second was going to be a big baby.... I had him at 38 weeks, 2 days.... He was 6lbs 9oz. I don't believe drs estimates, LOL.
My lil girl is measuring right on track, so I'm preparing for a big baby. LOL.

Well as long as he is healthy it'd be nice to see him a lil early

I've measured ahead my entire pregnancy. My boy is also really big. Never know. My first was huge too! But I only measured a week ahead & this time I'm measuring three weeks ahead

[lilmamma19]

Bump

Yeah I don't have any issue except low. iron. So would you think it means early?

I measured big from 20 weeks on with my second child, my doctor said the same thing that she was going to be a 9 or 10 lb baby, however I delivered her 5 weeks early at a healthy 7.1 lbs. But some people just have larger babies, my cousin just had an 11 lb baby and she did not have gestational diabetes or any health problems, just huge baby.
