Right, I'll try and make this as short as possible. I am due 4 Decm but there is a "slight" chance I actually got pregnant the month before I assumed to have. However, at the dating scan they placed me as due 4 December (32 weeks sat). However, baby has measured above the top line on both measurements and MW commented I didn't have much water. Also, when we looked at 20w scan, 2 out of the 3 measurements were at the top (96th percentile). I am concerned I am more pregnant than thought but only so I am prepared. Has anyone been above top line and had big measuremenst but known datesw ere right? ie could be that I am just having a big baby as both my husband and I are tall, though neither are overweight.

Did you have a 12 week scan?

Think the dating scans are usually pretty accurate.

Fwiw me and dh are less than average height. Both normal weight. Ds was 75th percentile when born! He then shot up to 91st percentile for weight.
He was in 18-24 month clothes at 1 year.

Sometimes you just get a big baby! :)

Big babies are lovely as they don't feel so fragile iyswim. A bit less scary for a first timer!

Yes I had a 12 week scan and that's the only reason why I'm sure I am being neurotic as I know they are very acurate. I am seeing a doctor on Monday so hopefully she can look at scan results and put my mind at rest.

My monster baby is apparently on the 95th centile for Femur length and 97th for Abdomen circ... My dates are pretty much ok. I know the deed was done 5 days before the scan says it was, but I also know it can take a few days for 'stuff' to happen.
