I'm Currently Feeling: | I have measured 2cm bigger since about week24. My midwife said not a problem/ issue unless it got 3/4 cm bigger. Saw my consultant last week and measured 38 weeks rather than 35 and 4 days. !!!! I was concerned it would be a monster baby but she said baby was a good size not necessarily a whopper. She also said she did not view fundal height as being a good indicator of baby size!  | | | | Status: Offline

I'm Currently Feeling: | My baby always measures small on measurement scans and big/right on the fundal height. It's weird.. I know she's small though so it must be fluid. |

I'm Currently Feeling: | Plus all dating methods are just an average, perfectly normal babies can be bigger or smaller and be just fine. |

I'm Currently Feeling: | According to the girl that did my 3d scan, they should be head down at around 28/29 weeks. Mine was still in a breach position and they said if he stayed that way it would mean a c-section. Luckily by the next attempt at the 3D a week later he had turned | | | | Status: Offline
