Measuring 2.5 weeks ahead! Will she come early?

I'm 33+2. I had 3 growth scans yesterday by different people: a midwife, sonographer and foetal medicine consultant. I collapsed at work (probably just a faint) and my first Doppler showed high pressures so that's why I was scanned a lot. The pressures were fine when the consultant did them. But...I consistently measured 35+ weeks during my scans. Anyone else had experience of this and what happened?

I measured 2 weeks ahead from 30 weeks with DD1 and she was 1 week late. Had growth scans with DD2 as concerns she’d be small but she was measuring big on scans and 1 week ahead when measuring bump. She was 4 days late

No.

I was measuring ahead and he came 10 days early at a rather average 7lb 5 rather than the 9lb+ that had been predicted! There are not any guarantees of when they’ll arrive so just get your bag ready and then try to relax. Yes, I know, it’s easier said than done!

I'm afraid not.

Nope, I measured ahead a lot. Nobody cared. My 11lb baby arrived at 42+2

Nope... the only accurate measurements for ‘weeks’ are at your 12 week scan.

Nope, I measured ahead for weeks and still got induced at +13 with a 9lb 4 baby.

Alas, no. I measured ahead 1-2 weeks consistently and was 15 days overdue with 9lbs 6 1/2oz baby in the end.

I had midwife 2 weeks ago and I was measuring 2 weeks ahead. I don't think it means anything coming early.
