Huge growth projection

I've attached my growth charts at 28 and 31 weeks and it suggests baby is tracking absolutely off the charts, way higher than even the 95th centile! I know bump measurements can be inaccurate but can they really be this wrong?! My midwife is over booked so I can't see her again until 35 weeks and I'm a bit worried looking at this. Thanks

Bump measurements are not very accurate, and neither are scans.

I think the more important thing is the shape of the curve, and yours seems to be following the shape quite nicely even though it’s obviously higher.

Did the midwife say anything when she did the measurement? If you’re worried about it, can you get in touch with the midwives on the phone, even if you can’t see your particular one?

@jemmatiggywinkle thank you for your reply, I think I'll call the midwives tomorrow. She wasn't concerned when she last saw me, she said exactly the same thing as you that she was more bothered about how it's tracking than anything.
