Measuring large for dates?


Hi 35+5 weeks and at my midwife appointment last wednesday she seemed to be concerned i was measuring to large for my dates and took blood to repeat RBG, if that comes back too high i will have to go to hospital to get another blood test taking.

Any one else having or ever had this problem really worried

My baby has been measuring a month ahead of what she should be for the past few months now. I have another growth scan on May 20th so I'm not too sure of the proceedure until after that. Hope everything goes well for you and your bubba tho xXx

I was always measuring large in the third trimester. Turned out i did have a large baby 9lb 1oz, its nothing to worry about really, as long as baby is healthy on the scans it should all be fine. Nothing wrong with big babies

I measured 35 weeks at 32. They sent me for an ultrasound, but everything was good. Glad to hear your LO is just fine!

To start with at my 20 week scan I was measuring large and they said I could expect an 8 - 10lb baby or possibly even more. Then at about 32 weeks they told be I was small and to expect a baby at 7lb at the very most!

I don't think they ever really know for sure so don't let it worry you.
