Measuring large
What’s everyone experience with measuring larger? To put things into perspective every scan I’ve had I’ve been measuring larger and the follow up appointments with my midwife id just get told that baby had likely just had a growth spurt early… my first time being measured fundally at my midwife appointment I was measuring 2 weeks ahead and was told the same again. Second time I was measuring on time but baby was back to back with me and at my last appointment last week I’m measuring 3 weeks ahead at 37cm (37 weeks). Now been booked in for a glucose test but never had any glucose in my urine, I’ve also tested my blood sugar the whole pregnancy and it’s never had any unusual spikes. I’ve always thought I looked much larger than other women and constantly getting “you’re huge” comments. Anxious for my scan on Monday, and wondered what others outcomes were… did it end up meaning anything? Did you end up needing to be induced? I’ve noticed my bump has dropped quite a bit and the pelvic pain is insane at the moment, pain takes my breath away. This is my first baby so I’m just curious what this means, do I need to prepared for an early arrival? Help 😂😭

So with my first I was measuring large, had a growth scan at 35 weeks and he was 7.5lbs. Born via Elective C-section at 40+2 weeks and weighed 8.9lbs. Currently 36 weeks and this baby is measuring larger than my first, will find out on Wednesday if I need a growth scan. I know to take them with a grain of salt though because even the midwife said they aren't 100% as they are measuring everything when they do it
