Hey girls, well I went for a scan today, I get one every 2 weeks to check my cervix hasnt shortened. Anyway the consultant checked the baby and done the measurements of head, tummy etc. Anyway Im 26 weeks on wednesday but when she did the measurements they were as follows:
Head - 27w+6
Tummy - 28w
Thigh - 25w+4
Another one I didnt understand was measuring 26w + 6

I then asked the consultant what it meant, was my due date gonna be brought forward, and she said that the thigh bone was measuring correctly and that it looks like my baby might just be a big baby!!! Dear god, if its ahead already what size will I be at the end? Has anyone had this before? Did you get started early due to size? Was abit of a shock haha xxx
 
not a clue hun but im sure if u ask midwives etc ul get more answers x
 
Thanks for replying, I asked the consultant cause was hoping theyd move me forward, but as I guess it wasnt my 34wk scan they wont do it till then xxx
 
My youngest nephew was born c-section a month early....he was 9lb on the dot :shock: (he was bigger then our Christmas turkey lol). They said that the rate he was growing it was safer for him to be a month prem as my sister was suffering so much. They won't let you go on if baby is huge hun xxxxxxxxxxx
 
My friend is also currently pregnant and her baby is ahead and they are starting her early, maybe everyone is different. My measurements were ahead today but sonographer didn't say anything really.
Hope all is ok. x
 
My baby is nearly 3 weeks ahead and they reckon a delivery at 39 weeks..he's already 4lb8 roughly so god knows what he'll be at 39!!
 
Thanks girls, hopefully they start me early if he keeps growing. With my DD she was 3 weeks early and 7lb 4 and I tore with her and was pushing was a long time, so would be afraid incase he was too big and got stuck or something xxxx
