30 weeks but measuring 34....

Does anyone have any experience of this? Will they just keep an eye on the growth? Could my bump slow down and eventually catch up with dates? Am I going to have a gigantic baby? Any experiences would be greatly received...

Measurements can be really inaccurate. I was measuring 31 weeks at 31 weeks but 28 weeks at 33 weeks! Hmm I've had enough scans for other reasons to know that baby and waters are growing not shrinking. If they don't get the tape straight, or measure from / to the wrong place it will be inaccurate.

I got a personalised growth prediction chart when I had my scan (this is a really new thing) - it's all based on my height and weight and says I will measure slightly smaller than the usual (probably because of my lack of height!). Just goes to show it's all individual though, and don't babies have growth spurts at times? That and if the baby has changed position would surely make measurements innacurate too.
