Bump measuring MASSIVE.

Won’t lie I’m a little freaked out.
I’ve got a normal Bmi etc and pregnancy has been kind to me up to now with no issues. I’m eating pretty well and I’m still active and thankfully baby has been perfect at every point.

I’ve got to have extra growth scans due to my previous babies (over 14 years ago) been small.
At my 26 midwife appointment bump/baby was on the top line. Today he’s off the charts. They’ve got me in for a scan on Friday afternoon but I won’t lie I’m a little freaked out. I’m scared it’s gdb or I’m going to give birth to a giant baby Confused. Midwife said it could be excessive fluid but it doesn’t feel like it to her as she could easily feel the baby.
Anyone have or had this ?

At 27 weeks I measured 34 weeks, way way off the line. Yesterday at 30 weeks I measured 31. I think a lot of it is down to how she is laying.

I had a growth scan which put her at 80th centile but I’m not listening to that overly much as I had one with DS where he apparently weighed 6lb3 and was born 19 hours later at 7lb13 Hmm

Similar to Ickle, I had a growth scan at 29 weeks due to bump being way off the chart and baby was measuring at 35 weeks. Sent for a gtt and no issues there. I had my 36 week scan a couple of days ago and whilst she's still big she's now back between the lines (95th centile). She just had a little growth spurt it seems and everything's fine, no interventions necessary ans I shall be left to go into labour when she's ready. It's daunting i know but try not to worry just yet x

My bump was on the 90th percentile, I was told as long as it follows the general curve they don't worry. She was 73 percentile when born.

This exact thing has happened to me too today. I was measuring 27 at 28 weeks and now measuring 32 at 31 weeks so has had a big spurt. She's also spun around again and is back to the breach position! Midwife isn't concerned, just said she'll send me for a growth scan as it's protocol when they have a big spurt so I'm not worried

Thanks for replying to me. Good to know it’s not just me
You can’t see very well on the pic I posted but he’s measuring about 8 boxes above the top centile today. That’s why I was a bit worried.

He’s wiggling about and his heartbeat was strong today so that’s got to be good. Hopefully the scan on Friday will be all ok

I'm worried too! Measuring 10 weeks ahead! I've got excess fluid though so hoping it's just that. Good luck for your scan on Friday I've not got one for another fortnight, not sure why it's so far away though!
