Measuring 33 weeks at 29 weeks pregnant - is this a problem ?

My midwife on hearing that the antibodies issue is no longer an issue with my pregnancy.
Paused for breath and then said I should do a glucose test (which I passed last pregnancy and had no family diabeates history etc) so I said unless there was a reason I would rather not.
Then I was told I was measuring 33 weeks at 29 weeks and I have to come back soonish for another measure and if I am still 'too big' I should go to the hospital for another scan, as my baby might be too big.
I know they have to do what they think is right but from this side I really feel they are looking for problems that aren't there
I have been so stressed since yseterday when i was told that i was measuring 33 weeks instead of 29 but after reading all your posts i feel a little better. i too dont have diabetes and have to go back to hospital on monday. Fingers crossed.
Well I'm not diabetic and from my scan my baby's exactly on the 50th centile - i.e. bang on average. So all that stress for nothing.... Big relief but makes you realise quite how inaccurate fundal heights are...
Hope all you other ladies are doing well and if you're still waiting for scans etc try not to worry!
Thanks

minipinkscottish, Sorry to hear your feeling weepy and uncomfortable. Have you considered buying a support belt ? I have one and it really helps.
Not getting on well with
HUGE belly ....very uncomfortable and feeling very weepy.....
Well it's good to hear I'm not the only one... GTT this thursday joy and delights but my lovely mummy's coming with me to natter so the time flies by.
Keep us posted with how everyone's getting on with our giant bellies/ babies. Mine stopped me from going on the dodgems at my SIL's wedding this weekend but managed to have a massive boogie instead.

ME too, I measured 40 weeks at 30! They had already made me do that glucose test and it was negative, they speculated and speculated that my baby would be enormous, but did they scan, did they 'eckers like. I ended up going to due date and having my son, who turned out to be under 7lbs and it was all water!
My sister measured big too, both her's born with lots of fluid too.

My friend was consistently measured about 4 weeks ahead, BE, same as you. They kept making her have scans and telling her she was going to have a HUUUGE (Over 10lb) baby, and really stressing her out. He was born at 39 weeks, weighing in at 8lb 2oz. So not that big really! She did have GD as well.
I was also measuring 2 weeks ahead and told my babies was going to be at least 8lb, and he was 4 days late and 6lb6oz! Honestly I think HCPs tell you your going to have a big baby just to put the wind up you
Iliketomoveit: I was also made to feel it was my fault my baby was big, like it was something i'd intentionally done to her to make her so big.
well the only thing i did was provide superb nutrition to her and take care of myself.
Fuck them, no one needs to feel like its their fault their baby is big. Relax - who cares if its a big baby anyways? It usually means a healthier child!

Just spent two wasted days hanging around antenatal clinics and baby only on 97th centile so still on charts and no further tests needed - if it carries on growing the way it is then it should be about 8lb 11oz (DS was 8lb 10oz last year)! Not particularly big at all!!
