I had my 28 week appointment today and I'm measuring 31 weeks (checked by 2 MW). At my last appointment I was measuring 2 weeks bigger. I'm going for a growth scan on Friday and I'm fairly confident it's maybe just fluid etc. I'm really short so there's not much room left in my uterus for a huge baby!
When readin my about it a lot of people have said they were measured big and warned of a big baby but actually they were a fairly normal weight. Has anyone measured big from this stage and gone on to have a particularly big baby? MW said if baby is thought to be particularly big I may have to be induced at 39 weeks, which would mean me not being able to have my baby in my local maternity hospital and having to travel 3 hours to the next one instead. Really want to avoid that!!
I measured slightly smaller all the way through when pregnant with DD and she was 6lb 15oz at birth
