i went to my 31 week check today and have been referred for a scan because i am measuring 36 weeks, the midwife says this sometimes can be extra water but it feels like its all baby. the baby is also breech! im really worried, im due 30th of january but by my period i calculate it 19th of january. anybody else been in this situation or got any suggestions to what could be going on? ive been 2 weeks large for dates in the past checks but now its 5 weeks large for dates. also ive lost weight in the past week, only 3 lbs but that takes my total weight gain down to 11 lbs

Good luck with your scan, at least they are checking what is going on!

If you think your dates are different to what they say, it may just be that you are right & baby is really due the 19th!!!

Good luck with your scan. They will be able to pick every thing up including babys estimated weight at the time..

I had to have a scan at 36 weeks as i was measuring 41, when I was measured yesterday i'm measuring 38 again which is spot on.

good luck with ur scan--- dont worry about measuring large--- i've been since 22 weeks and always 2-3 weeks ahead ===im getting mine checked friday--the large for dates ultrasound-i'll let u know how it goes---

have they checked ur glucose--- they say that if u developed gestational diabetes the baby will be larger than usual---with me they tested me for it like two weeks ago and everything came back clear and now the ultrasound will be reassurance.. besides all along they have had my dates all screwwy as i was originally due new years and now they have me down for feb. 12th

anyway---good luck---hope everything works out for u ====also could u be measuring larger as a result of swelling ---ive had a lot of swelling so i'm going with too much fluid for me===

i also read somewhere that the fundal height measurements are less accurate after 30-32 weeks esp. after baby drops into head down position and that even just his/her position can make u seem bigger/smaller on certain days depending on when they measure u

went for my scan, wasnt very helpful, the woman said she wasnt going to measure the baby just the amniotic fluid to make sure its ok, it was fine and ive got to go back next wed to make sure its still ok, but she said if its ok it just means that the babies big or my dates are wrong but its just tough kinda thing haha, so im gutted because i really wanted to know if i should be expecting earlier or if im having a wopping baby ha! dissapointed really! but i suppose aslong as shes ok is the main thing :s xxx

went back to the hospital today, fluid still slightly over, been refered to a doctor on monday. the lady who scanned me said she couldnt get a clear picture of the babies face because the head was quite far down, is this normal at 32 weeks or am i right in thinking my dates are wrong? confused!!! xxx

mines been head down since 26 weeks at 29 weeks and 3 i had my ultrasound---turned out mine was constantly measuring 2-3 weeks ahead because he was long--- (long leg bones)

and to answer ur ques. about baby head being far down---at 29 weeks mine was hard to see his face---i had to turn on my side so she could get a look at his face he was facing my back and head down --- making it hard to get a pic and even then we didnt get a shot of his whole face just the side or most of it--- so ya i think its completely normal to not get a good shot of the face at 32 weeks
