Accuracy of measurement

If I am measuring two weeks larger than the number of weeks I am...could I be two weeks further along than I thought?

I always measured bigger(2-3 weeks) with my first son but I wasn't 2 weeks further. But you never know

You maybe but if the measurement was done using the fundal height your baby may have had a growth spurt, sometimes they measure smaller as well and in a couple of visits have "caught up"so to speak. I wouldnt worry about it as they use this as a guide to make sure bub is doing fine and by the sounds of it yours is :) If it was by ultrasound only early ultrasounds are accurate for measurement ie 8 wks, as I said before babys do have growth spurts as this is most likely the reason for this

It's possible, but it depends on when the ultrasound was done. How many weeks does the ultrasound place you, and how many weeks should you be by your counting?
