Today I had a growth scan, as my DS was a larger baby (10lbs 8oz). I'm much smaller this time, bump is measuring a week behind and my glucose test was fine, never had bp issues etc.
During the scan we were told that baby had jumped from the 50th percentile to the 95th in the 10 weeks since the 20 week scan. I was also measuring 33w5d with an u/s edd of 30th April, as opposed to the 30w2d and edd of 20th May. He's also comfortable transverse and doesn't seem to want to move down, which isn't a problem just now but definitely could be.
This is obviously quite a big leap and I'm due back in 4 weeks for much of the same.
If anyone has had a growth scan and measured so far ahead (almost a month!) were the measurements accurate? Apparently baby weighs 4lbs already! I'm not giving birth to the marshmallow man am I?
I suppose I'm worried about baby being too big, as I'm quite hormonal and such. How much bigger can he get!? Say he gains another 0.5lbs a week between now and due date, he'd be well in to the 10lbs bracket and possibly 11lbs odd! I've only gained half a stone ....
