Big baby at 20 weeks

I’m on the same boat as you! At 21 weeks my girl is a pound! I’ve also gained the same weight. Hopefully it’s not gestational for either of us.

Same. I’ve gained 20 lbs already. They’ll test you for it at 28 weeks. It’s fine if you have it. You can take meds if managing your diet doesn’t work. Baby will be fine.

23w today. Also in same boat, at 19w5d baby was 1lb, 99 percentile. My OB wasn’t worried, but will keep a close eye on things bc I’m high risk for age, bc of mutiple miscarriages, hx of preeeclampsia, small placental abruption current pregnancy at 17w. We are gonna check for GD at 28w.

Those ultrasounds are guesswork. My "average" measuring baby was 9Ibs 5.1oz. My baby that measured tiny (20th percentile) was in the 60th percentile when she was born. A dear friend of mine agreed to an elective cesarean because she was told her baby was going to be like 12Ibs by his due date and he wasn't even 7Ibs. They can usually give you a general idea but they are not to be counted on. Also some people just have big babies, it's not necessarily indicative of a problem. And it's a lot more common if you or your husband were big babies. Also I delivered my biggest vaginally without an epidural and he was my first. Big babies don't mean you have to have a C-section if you decide you want a vaginal birth. *Hugs* try not to stress, you are doing great. Also while you don't want to gain too much weight, there is definitely a range of normal and weight gain sometimes goes in spurts rather than following that perfect smooth curve the chart shows you.

I gain a ton of weight during pregnancy (40+ lbs) and my babies are big (10+ lbs) but no gestational diabetes! Some people are just built different. My current was 98 percentile at 20 weeks.

I had my anatomy scan at 21w and all the baby’s was measurements were typical for 23w/24ws. Off the charts, big baby. Some measurements not even in the percentiles anymore.
They said they might change my due date.
I read that there are other factor besides gestational diabetes, like genetics or moms BMI .
Doc wants to go another anatomy scan in my 3rd trimester to see where we stand
