Fundal height
Has anyone had their uterus measure on track but still had a big baby? Because I won't have another ultrasound and I'm praying I have a baby less than 8 lbs lol. My uterus always measures right on track.

Yeah they told me they will do an ultrasound at 36 weeks if they can't determine his position by feeling for him. I know he's been head down though, just hoping he doesn't flip.

I've been measuring about 2 weeks ahead my whole pregnancy. My Dr. thinks I'm in track for an 8lb baby. Our 20 wk scan his legs and arms were super long (me and my hubby are both tall) ? I'd much rather him be long than wide lol. We will do one more quick peak just to check his position, so I wonder if they will guess weight then too.

It's hard to have any accurate measurement. When I had growth ultrasounds last time my guy was measuring smaller, like 30 percentile. When he was born at 39 weeks he was 8lb, 12oz. It was really surprising because I was 7.4 and my husband was like 6.5...I just make big babies I guess? This time I'm hoping I don't end up with a 10lb-er! :)

With my first I measured on track the whole time and had a 20.5 inch 7.11 lbs baby boy at 40+1. With this baby I've been measuring 2 weeks ahead (currently 32 weeks) they already guessing I'm having a 8lbs + baby boy with this one, but since I'm having a repeat c-section they said it doesn't matter. ???

With my daughter I measured behind and she was a very healthy weight at 7 lbs 8 ounces and this time around the doctor says my fundal height is measuring behind but they did an ultrasound at 32 weeks and she was a healthy weight at 4 lbs 6 ounces.

I measured on track with my 1st. He was born at 39+2 weighing 6lbs5oz.
I measured 5 week ahead with my 2nd and he was born at 40+4 weeks weighing 8lbs 3oz.
I'm 31 weeks now with my 3rd and at 28 weeks was measuring 4 weeks ahead, baby was transverse. I got remeasured at 30 weeks and now measuring 2 weeks ahead, baby is breech. I think it all depends what position baby is in.

With my first, I always had normal Fundal heights. The US told me I was having a big baby. (Which was off) I delivered via c section at 39 weeks for an 8lb 10oz babe.

I had an office visit today for something else and she measured my tummy she said I'm measuring about one week smaller but it's not concerning. I won't get an US to measure size. Only if they are concerned baby isn't head down but it was confirmed today by her feeling around she's head down

I wish there was some way to know for sure! I know even ultrasound can be off. But I guess I'll figure it out when he gets here. I don't think my family generally makes big babies though and I was 7 lb 7 oz. I just know some women on my mom's side were not able to deliver vaginally because of their pelvis being too narrow, so I am just praying same doesn't happen to me.

Mine varies from being 2 weeks ahead to right on track. My sense is this baby will be close to or over 9lbs just like my other two kiddos.

Mine always measures right on track too and I have no idea how big this baby is. I haven't had an ultrasound since 22 weeks to measure growth.?

I measured right on track my whole pregnancy and my son was born 8lbs 12 oz and 20 inches long. I gained 28 lbs total.

I don't know how reliable fundal height is. Mine is measuring two weeks behind my weeks but baby is measuring 3-4 weeks ahead of my weeks.

I measured on track and had a small baby... from fundal height & manual feeling we thought DD would be a good 8lb, especially going 12 days overdue. She was 6lb 1oz.
