Just left my Dr appt and they say I'm measuring 37 weeks instead of the 31 that I am based off my due date. Should I be concerned? Anybody else measuring big?
oh wow . I have gestational diabetes nd at 24 weeks he was already 3 pounds almost but idk how big he is now. They could be a week or two off of ur due date but sometimes they don't want to change it . nd ur due date is just an estimate that's why some girls deliver a lot earlier then should nd if u have gestational diabetes. and I know what you mean I honestly don't understand why they won't change ur due date but they will tell u if it's a bad thing that ur baby is big . so long as there not telling u it's bad then I wouldn't worry to much about it :) . u got this hun . Have faith ur body knows wat it's doing.
@a011083, even my baby measures big at every ultrasound yet they won't change my due date even though I passed my glucose test so they know it's not because of gestational diabetes. I just don't wanna go into labor what I believe to be superhuman early
@emichelle they told me that it's because they base it off of ur menstral cycle instead of ur conception day so they can sometimes get ur due date wrong and U can be further along then they thought .
@a011083, did they say anything about it? My doctor just ignores it as if it's normal
They can gauge the accurateness of the due date based on other factors like organ development. my babies brain and kidneys are right on schedule for my due date but he's heavy and has long bones. Everybody is different. The men in my family are huge so it's quite possible Im just having a big boy!
