Went to doctors yesterday and they measured my belly and they said I’m measuring 34 weeks so two weeks ahead, so I get an ultrasound on Monday to see how big baby is cuz I’m a diabetic and my other baby’s were big babies but I’ve never measured ahead ever so I wonder if I’m closer to having her then cuz they said they will take me at 37 weeks or 38 weeks 😁
They will only let my baby be as big as 8 pounds so if she is 8 pounds before end of February they have to take me cuz I’m a high risk diabetic
@candyhamilton48, what I said still stands. It’s common to measure ahead and there’s no exact way for them to know weight because they can be off. If you aren’t measuring way ahead (4 plus weeks) there’s no reason for concern. Your dr should not induce based on size alone. If your diabetes is controlled, you aren’t spilling sugars, your baby is passing nst and biophysical ultrasounds and your placenta is functioning well, size isn’t a reason to induce. They generally won’t let you go past 38/39 weeks because having health issues compromises your placentas functions to the baby.
@dontblockmesis-imjustspeakingfacts, no they won’t let me go past 38 weeks and they have to monitor the weight cuz I had complications with my other children cuz they were big babies
Possibly! I’m measuring 3 weeks ahead and I feel like this baby about to fall out at any moment 😂😂🤣🤣
And how many weeks are u and how many weeks would u be measuring ahead
@candyhamilton48, I’m 36 weeks measuring 39 weeks lol on Monday my dr is gonna decide what to do lol he gonna do one more ultrasound and see how she is looking. But yeah I feel like she is about ready to come out any day now
Does measuring ahead mean im further along or baby is just big?
Dr said I am measuring 2 weeks ahead..

My August baby decided she wanted to be a May baby like her big sister. Madison Noelle was born on Tuesday, May 24 at 3:50pm, weighing 2lbs, 13oz and 14". She was born at 27 weeks and has a long road ahead of her. Every day she has been getting stronger and amazing everyone. Please keep us in your prayers, my family and I have a long road ahead of us. Congratulations to everyone and I wish you all wonderful pregnancies and deliveries! ??❤️
what happens when your baby measures 2 weeks ahead?? they didn't change the due date. they just said I'm going to. have a BIG baby
Hey moms, I know I haven’t been on here in a while but I have a few questions that my OB didn’t answer when I went today. So I’m 36 weeks & 4 days pregnant and at the visit he said baby is measuring 40 weeks. Has this ever happened to anyone? Did you have your baby early? Also he said I’m strep b positive, what does that mean? Is my baby going to be okay? I appreciate all responses
So for mommies that have had babies already when you measured ahead did they induce you? Since I'm measuring 4 weeks ahead I was wondering if I'd be induced.
It’s common to measure ahead a few weeks. Measurements can vary based on fluid levels and baby’s position. During ultrasound your baby’s measurements can also be off plus or minus 2-3 pounds. Measuring big doesn’t mean baby will come early.
