CURIOSITY QUESTION(s): What factors cause your doctors to say your baby is measuring ahead? Does that mean they were off about your due date or did your baby just have a larger growth spurt? Also why do doctors induce you at 37/38 weeks instead of letting you go full term? I’ve seen so many posts about getting induced soon which will put them at only 37 or 38 weeks when I add to the orange number. FTM so I know nothing about this stuff and just want to know 🤗

Another thing that scares me though, is that with my youngest they were a pound off at the ultrasound. Said she was 9lbs and when I went in the next day to have her she was 10.1. so that also scares the crap outta me. Lol

I have another weekly appt tomorrow so I'll see if I have 4 weeks left or 5 lol hopefully they inside at 38. That means only a month to go!! Wooo I'm more than ready to meet baby girl number 4 lol

@dlboer86, oh my goodness. That’s understandable I didn’t know any of that could happen

Danielle · Answer

I'm type 1 diabetic and generally tend to have bigger babies. My little girl is measuring 4 weeks ahead. *YIKES* and they might inside me at 38 because I've been rather resistant this pregnancy. I'm scared of passing out a 12 pounder. My youngest was delivered at 37+1 and she was 10.1 and I broke her clavicle. So I'm nervous myself this time around.

Induction has kinda been talked about with me because Of how little I am and the way my baby is measuring. If I am wanting to go naturally then induction may have to be the way to go if he continues to grow the way he is. So it all just depends. Some babies grow at a different rate than others.

Answer

Ok. So the first part I am unsure about. And yes you can get induced at 37 or 38 weeks. The did it with my daughter and might do it with this little people

@amw322, I had polyhydramnious

Aleah · Answer

@squishymommy1, do you know why you measured that far ahead? Was your due date wrong or was it the baby’s growth?

Hannah · Answer

You could have a larger baby, morr fluid, or just the way baby is laying which causes you to measure bigger. Most of the ones being Inducded are for medical reasons. I was Inducded ar 37+6 leaking fluid and my blood pressure was way to high

Likely the ones that are getting induced are high risk for some reason or another. I'll be induced due to diabetes

I measured 6 weeks ahead with my last baby. Induction was never mentioned as I was having a homebirth.
